I am having a bit of trouble geting PostgreSQL working quite corectly on my fresh Debian "stable" istall.
I installed it using the Debina dselect tool. Now, If I su - postgres, I can use psql to connect to the db, so I know that that part of the install went OK. However I am having a problem adding users. See below: Script started on Fri Apr 13 09:50:33 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ psql Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
