No, that's not it:
template1=# select * from pg_shadow;
usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usetrace | usesuper | usecatupd |
passwd | valuntil
----------+----------+-------------+----------+----------+-----------+------
--+----------
postgres | 31 | t | t | t | t |

msherman | 1000 | t | f | f | f |

This is strange, though -- the problem types have typowner set
to 103 in pg_type, which is clearly invalid. 103 happens to be
the Linux user ID (in passwd) for the postgres user. Strange.
I suspect this may be a problem with the Debian install scripts;
Debian is forcing postgres' user id to be 31 in the db, since it
used to use a reserved user id for postgres in the os.
Is it enough for me to log on to each of my databases as user
postgres, and execute the query "update pg_type set typowner=31
where typowner=103;" to fix this problem? Are there any other
hidden databases I should fix besides template1?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Tom.
