Hey,

I am using postgres9.2, on a linux 6.3 box.
For start i created a user postgres on linux with login permission and no
password.

Is it necessary for the postgres user to have login permissions?

Can i change it to "no login" with out breaking basebackup and Streaming
Replication from other machines.?
