Just a few questions that I seem to have trouble answering with the web.

Without reading any documentation, I installed postgres as root, is this
wrong?(Documentation kind of says it is but am not 100% sure)

Do I have to install as a su?

If yes to the above, can I remedy the problem without re-installing.

This is the error msg that is displayed.

laptop2# createuser
Connection to database 'template1' failed
FATAL 1: SetUserId: user 'root' is not in 'pg_shadow'

createuser: database access failed

replace 'root' with 'myusername' in the su situation.
 
Thanks for any help.
