newbie-problem

Hi folks! :-)

I have a problem with my first steps with postgresql. I installed
the database-server on my LINUX-box (debian potato) and wanted to
try out the first operations with psql. When I call psql, I get the
following error message:

Connection to database 'template1' failed
FATAL1: SetUserId: user 'bernard' is not in 'pg_shadow'

I don't know what to do. Sure, this is a stupid question. But it is
really my first contact with a database.

Thank you very much!

Bernard
