With special parameters then, because you only have this message when
you launch the server status window.

You need to read the complete message: "The adminpack is installed and
activated by default *if you are running the 'official' pgInstaller
distribution of PostgreSQL for Windows*".
Which, BTW, should say the onclick installer. Will fix this.
Anyway, as you use Yast, I suppose the server is not installed on a
Windows box :)

Sure. You need to execute the adminpack.sql file in the postgres database.
This is automatically done with the Windows installer because it also
installs pgAdmin3. But you need to do it yourself on Linux.
