Patrix I think what Glenn was getting you to do was this: su - <<enter root password at prompt>> su - postgres <<you will not get prompted for a password>>
This necessary because postgres has an unknown password (but root can become any user).
Once you are logged on your box as postgres issue the command:
psql template1
This should log you into the postgresql database template1 (which comes with postgres) and now you can use the following command.
create user username password 'password'
Add "createdb" and "createuser" to the above line for superuser privileges.
Exit postgresql with "\q"
\q [to exit psql]
Now you can log back in as yourself and create your database: exit [no longer postgres] exit [no longer root] psql template1 template1=# create database mydatabase; you should see the response "CREATE DATABASE"
Make sure to switch to your database with "\c mydatabase" before adding tables, etc., because any changes to template1 are propagated to all newly created databases.

Dear Stuart. Thank you very much for help. Yes, you're very correct. once again thanks. I can administrate my postgresql with psql now, but not with KNoda (over TCP/IP connection).

Patrix, Now I am puzzled. The only file that I know of that would generate an ident authentication error is the pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf files. If the authentication for a particular host/user combination in the pg_hba.conf is specified as ident <ident user> then postgres looks up that <ident user> in the pg_ident.conf to locate the corresponding postgres user id. The only situation I know that would generate such an error is if there is an invalid <ident user> (one that is not in the pg_ident.conf file or the <ident user> is left blank). There may be a default line such as: local all all ident sameuser in the pg_hba.conf file that may be above the commented table headings line. Do a grep for ident on the pg_hba.conf file to see if one shows up. There is also a list at "pgsql-sql@postgresql.org" that you can probably get more info on this issue.
The error message is : Server message: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "patrix"

Dear Glenn... Thank you very much for yourr help... I start to understand "su - postgres". I kept thinking about this. And then I managed to understand it: " patrix@acer-suse:~/arsip/installer/postgreSQL8.1/dari_ftp.suse.com> su Password: acer-suse:/home/patrix/arsip/installer/postgreSQL8.1/dari_ftp.suse.com # su - postgres postgres@acer-suse:~> ls backups data initlog " The rest, I could follow your thread very easily and I realize you gave me a very detail steps. Thank you very much. I can administrate my postgres and its database from psql. Now my problem is only my KNoda still can not connect to my postgres.
