I don't know, OS x; on linux the local directory is /usr/local/pgsql/data for 8.0 version, and used to be /var/lib/pgsql/data on older versions for linux redhat.
You should have the default superuser account
postgres and the database
template1 (don't change it, just login and create you own one)
I.E:
psql template1 postgres and, once logged,
create database myowndb;
Then you can use psql myowndb postgres tp log on and start your adventure...
Hope this helps. bye

Hi
Im new to postgres and I have just installed version 8.0.3. I used darwinports on os x (10.4.2)... Having looked in the manual to start the server:
$ postmaster -D /pgsql/data
Im not sure where i can find this data folder.... I have searched but dont seem to have one...
Also, are there default accounts created and database as with mysql root and test db?
Thanks
