How to Create a Database in PostgreSQL
I just installed PostGreSQL in my Ubuntu Box, and the first thing I want to do is to create a database. I read the [documentation][1], and it simply says type createdb. Once I typed in that command, PostgreSQL gave me an error: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "myuser". I assume that this is because "myuser" does not have the right administration privileges in the database. Is there an easy way to add that priviliges ?

Thank you.
