VERY, VERY URGENT!!
Below is a transcript of an attempt to create a user, which I trust
will be self explanatory.
Who do you think I should go to discuss this problem?
Is there a users' group in which I can post this problem for discussion?
Please help me?
-bash-2.05b$ createuser bruce
Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) y
CREATE USER
-bash-2.05b$ psql -d movies
