PostgreSQL User Administration

Over the weekend, I managed to revive my main desktop machine, which as spent the last 15 months turned off under a desk because it was showing some odd behaviour and didn't have time to fix it. I've upgraded it to the latest sid and given it to my girlfriend to use instead of the Windows machine she had been using. She appears to have fallen in love with tuxpaint. :)

In the process of setting it up I discovered printconf, which automatically sets up parallel and USB printers under cups. Plugged in my printer, went to print in firefox and there was the printer. These things just get easier and easier. Gone are the days when you spent hours writing a printcap entry for your printer. One thing I would like is for DBus support in CUPS so I know when the print job has finished.

Just finished writing an article on PostgreSQL user administration. Go read it.

Thanks for your article! I've been fighting with pgSQL since the done of the world. :-)

CUPS doesn't always know when it's finished, like when it's sent it to a jetdirect printer.
