You must be the owner, e.g. the "administrator" to perform operations using monetdb, or you must enable socket-based control which requires a passphrase to be setup. Check the mero_controlport option in the merovingian manpage[1].

Thanks for that. I'd rather not set up the control port until I'm more confident of the admin and/or until I really need to access it from another machine. I didn't try to run as the monetdb user since that seems to be set up to prevent login. I guess I can set up another user who can sudo or somesuch. Is the security/adminstrator setup philosophy described somewhere? Thanks, Dave
