Hi all,

The initdb seemed to go fine, the postmaster is running in the
background, but createdb testdb results in this:

FATAL: user "postgres" does not exist
psql: FATAL: user "postgres" does not exist
createdb: database creation failed

whoami shows that I am clearly "postgres"

Does anybody have an idea of what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Louise
