I am running Postgres 9.1

I have followed the howto here:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Streaming_Replication

I am attempting to replicate an existing database.

On the Master, I get the following error in the postgres log file:

FATAL: must be replication role to start walsender

On the slave I get this:
FATAL: could not connect to the primary server: FATAL: must be
replication role to start walsender

I have googled both of those log entries to no avail.

note that the sender process on the master is not running.

What simple step am I missing?
