OK, I should have said that the only way I can run psql is after making
an entry in pg_hba.conf to enable passwords, starting the postmaster
with the "-i" option then using the "-u" option with psql. The
createuser and createdb scripts will not run regardless.

Maybe I have other problems?? I am going to dig a little bit deeper :)
