Doesn't seem to matter, the ONLY place where MYPASSWORD works is in the 
initial login using uid ledgersmb, after that anytime I use the ledgersmb 
uid, I have to use the MYROLEPASSWORD.

I've steadfastly avoided getting to know postgres in particular and sql 
servers in general over the past few years, I see now that's been a bad 
choice....  On a related note, any recommendations for a good book on 
postgres in particular and sql in general?

As to the problem, after redoing things as per

http://www.howtoforge.com/ledgersmb_debian_etch

and wth the caveats on the passwords in item 1, it's now up and running.
