first steps

Hey Group;

I have looked at the suggestions on  >
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/
But I still am confused setting up the permissions and myself as a user.
I have seen /home/donn/.pgpsql and .pgadmin.  However, I am not sure
where to start - edit postgres's pg_hba.conf file maybe?
/usr/bin/postmater is available.  I do have pgadmin3 and it requires a
pgsql user and password.
