Hi, I just installed the postgreSQL packages.  However I can not add users
because 

foo# createuser 
Connection to database 'template1' failed.
FATAL 1:  SetUserId: user "root" is not in "pg_shadow"

createuser: database access failed.
foo#

The docs are not helping.  What is the necessary steps to getting a database up
so I can learn SQL.
