Tom,

  There were no files 'postgres*' when I got done; I also checked for pg*
and cleaned those out, too. But, ... I think it is a permissions problem for
the initdb, at least.

  I found a couple of stale lockfiles and deleted those. Now the command,
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data &
works.

  Do I want a copy of that in /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that the postmaster will
restart upon reboot?

  Now that initdb has successfully run I'll try createuser again.

Thanks very much,

Rich
