I originally posted this in the novice section. I'm not really sure
where it belongs. Thanks for your help.

Subject: Createdb Problems
Hi all,
The initdb seemed to go fine, the postmaster is running in the
background, but createdb testdb results in this:
FATAL: user "postgres" does not exist
psql: FATAL: user "postgres" does not exist
createdb: database creation failed
whoami shows that I am clearly "postgres"
Does anybody have an idea of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
Louise
