Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

-u

>=20

I tried that but didn't work for me:
"[root@mail ~]# usermod -p $PASS postgres
usage: usermod  [-u uid [-o]] [-g group] [[-a] -G group,...]
                 [-d home [-m]] [-s shell] [-c comment] [-l new_name]
                 [-f inactive] [-e expire ] [-p passwd] [-L|-U] name"

But this does :)

Thanks a bunch.
