I'm not at all familiar with PAM error message wording, but are you aware that you must create the user "craig" inside the database _as well_ as on whatever PAM layer you use? The "audit_open(): Permission denied" message sounds like Postgres is not authorized to consult PAM though. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
