Subject: adding a superuser

Hi, I have just installed PostgreSQL 7.1 and am having a hard time adding
users. I am trying to add a superuser but I keep getting errors with the
createuser script.

I am user 'root' on the Linux system when I run:

lightning:/# createuser -d -a root
psql: FATAL 1: user "root" does not exist
createuser: creation of user "root failed

Does anyone know how I could create a superuser or any user?

Thanks in advance,

Karl
