   createuser fails
   
   Long Description
   I am trying to install postgres on windows nt .
   initdb worked fine , and also the createdb command.
   But when i run any command like  createuser etc, i get the 
   following error
   psql: connectDBStart() -- socket() failed: errno=106
   Addresses in the specified family cannot be used with this socket
   
   ipc-daemon and  postmaster are both running.
   It is very urgent for me to run postgres on nt.
   I would really appreciate if some one replies me back

   Try `createuser -h localhost ...'. By default, it uses Unix domain
   sockets, which don't work on NT. (Hence, "specified family [namely
   AF_UNIX] cannot be used...".)
   
   Setting the environment variable PGHOST=localhost might be a good idea as
   well.
