Thread: user issue

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Description:

I ran "createdb mydb" but putting in my password I got "createdb: could not
connect to database template1: FATAL:  password authentication failed for
user '(LOCAL USER)' "
Running "createdb -U postgres mydb" works with my password. Installation
seems to have created the user postgres without warning, but cmd and psql
both assume local user as default.
