BTW, initdb is no longer a script - some idiot rewrote it in C :-)

And it does have a switch for setting the superuser password:

-W
--pwprompt
   Makes initdb prompt for a password to give the database superuser.   If you don't plan on using password
authentication,this is not   important. Otherwise you won't be able to use password   authentication until you have a
passwordset up.
