I downloaded the new postgress, Installed it and did as you commanded at the cmd prompt; postmaster -U postgres -i and got this message: (Execution of Postgres SQL by a user with administrative permissions is not permitted. The server must be started under an unprivleged user ID to prevent possible system security comprimises.) no request for password even. pgadmin seems to log on with the 'postgress' user & password BTW when I type in passwords nothing happens the cursor stays put... not even **** !! is this normal
