[PHP-DB] Autologin problem From: Julio Cuz, Jr. (jcuz <email protected>)
Date: 01/04/01

Hi--

I'm trying to run the following command on the "/etc/rc.local" so it will
run everytime (RedHat 7/PHP4/PostgreSQL):

nohup su -c 'postmaster -i -D /usr/local/pgsql/data \
</dev/null >>server.log 2>>1 &' <username>

The problem is that <username> has a password set, and since Linux doesn't
ask for it when it's on the rc.local file, my command fails.

Is there a way to include the password with the "su" command?

Is there a way to CLEAR a user's password and set it to NULL?
