It's my first time using PostgreSQL and I need to do basic things as establishing a new user,create a new database,access psql command line client etc.

I tried : su - postgres to access the server but I don't have a valid password,I don't know if the server is requesting the postgres system account password,or the database one.

I installed PGSQL that come with Oracle Linux 6.4 and don't know what is the PGSQL default configuration.

Basically,I start the server with: /etc/init.d/postgresql start ,and I am stuck about what to do next,and with permissions,authentications etc.

Note: I changed in pg_hba.conf authorizations (ident to trust) but still no access to a workable PGSQL
account.
