Here I receive:
createdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: Ident
authentication failed for user "kokomo"
So, given that I do not fail submitting the password for kokomo when
requested... what could be the problem? Have I to create a system user
for kokomo?
If I use pgadmin3 I see the kokomo user with it own encrypted password
and I can create the DB with kokomo as a owner. So what am I missing
in the command line?
Thanks for help.
Looks like you have a Database user kokomo but since your authentication method in pg_hba.conf is set to ident, which means database user is mapped to an OS user, and you need to be logged in as that OS user on which a DB user is mapped. By default the mapping is on "sameuser" which means inorder to logon as kokomo db user you will have to be authenticated /logged in as kokomo OS user.
Change the pg_hba.conf auth method to trust or password
