Hi all,

I know this kinda a straight-forward question, but i haven't found the answer for it in the documentation.

what is the default barman password when installing it from an RPM ? barman-1.2.0-1.rhel6.noarch.rpm in my case.

Thanks.

It is a system user, hence no password has been set.

You become barman only through the root user via sudo or su.

Cheers,
Gabriele

any reason to set up a different pass for barman? will it somehow interfere barman to work properly?

You can, even though it is not advised (that's how system users work -
another similar example is the postgres system user).

Cheers,
