Sorry – original code will work – but only after you ‘cd /’ first. P

sudo dscl . append Users/postgres Password ‘*’ – won’t work…

sudo dscl . append /Users/postgres Password ‘*’ – will!

(Spot the ‘deliberate’ mistake? ;-) )

But great tip in any case!

Very useful tip. That postgres user on my login page has always annoyed me. Thank you very much!
