The format is as follows…

*:*:*:postgres:PASSWORD

Modify /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

It should contain the following…

local all all md5
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5

Change ‘md5′ to ‘trust’ to disable authentication then restart postgres.

`/etc/init.d/postgresql restart`

Now you should be able to connect to postgresql as user ‘postgres’ without a password to modify the password.

`psql -u template1`

Run the following sql command.

“alter user postgres with password ‘NEW PASSWORD HERE’;”

Finally change /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf back to its original format and restart postgresql one more time. Now you should be able to authenticate using user postgres and the password you specified.

To enable these features, you can put the following lines in the .vimrc in your home directory:

" Indentation
set smartindent

" Tabs to 4-spaces
set shiftwidth=4
set tabstop=4
set expandtab
set smarttab

after installation, i sync it, issuing the command #emerge –sync and took also a couple of minutes to sync, after syncing… i install a new kernel, download the source code, compile it, put it on my grub.. and reboot the computer, use the newly compiled kernel.

its really a worth trying.. though a little bit techie..

one thing, Gentoo uses Gnome as a default desktop(which i really loved)

here’s some screeny…

#changing root password

login as root to mysql

SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword');

# yum groupinstall “X Window System” “GNOME Desktop Environment”

this should install GNOME Desktop on your System…

I find it very useful for my Java Adventure.. even though im still learning the new Class i found.. but.. im so impressed. Thanks to the developer who made it _FREE_

If your a Java Developer(newbies).. you can try it too..

Cheerz!
