[bareos-users] Getting authentication failures with sudo -u postgres -c commands

[Raymond Norton]

I have used bacula for a number of years but want to move to Bareos. I am attempting my first server install but am getting authentication errors when attempting to run the following command (regardless of password used, or no password)


sudo -u postgres -c /usr/lib/bareos/scripts/create_bareos_database

I changed the postgres user password via psql but that did not help.

I am fine with reconfiguring the initial setup but am not clear on how to do that.

I am installing on a 16.04 Xubuntu server.

Any help is appreciated.

is following command working:

sudo -i
su - postgres
psql
(you should get connection prompt to databse)

How about following instructions:

su postgres -c /usr/lib/bareos/scripts/create_bareos_database
<>su postgres -c /usr/lib/bareos/scripts/make_bareos_tables
<>su postgres -c /usr/lib/bareos/scripts/grant_bareos_privileges
If you don't know password of postgres user just first sudo -i and then follow documentation?
