But the man say :
" createuser is a wrapper around the SQL command CREATE ROLE [create_role(7)].
There is no effective difference between creating users via this utility and
via other methods for accessing the server."

It is right, but look at this scenario :
CREATE ROLE super SUPERUSER;
ALTER ROLE super NOSUPERUSER;
No RIGHT to CREATEDB.
If superuser is created using commandline, he can still CREATEDB after the
same ALTER ROLE
I think there is 2 options:
- change the manual and keep the actual method.- don't stop asking privilege on createuser (it actually break after
'yes'to
superuser)
or do nothing...
