createuser problem in 7.3.4 on Linux

I have been following the basic install process for Linux.<br /><br /> As user postgres I have run initdb. I create a
usernamed Administrator via the createuser script. All goes well and I get the response CREATE USER.<br /> Then I try:
<br/><br /> psql -U Administrator template1<br /><br /> and get the response:<br /> psql: FATAL: IDENT authentication
failedfor user "Administrator".<br /><br /><br /> The user Administrator is however in table pg_shadow.<br /><br /> But
ifI try DROP USER Administrator  I get<br /><br /> ERROR: DROP USER: user "administrator" does not exist<br /><br />
Notethe last error has "administrator" rather than "Administrator".<br /><br /> Does anybody have any idea what is
happening?If not, does anybody know if it is possible to undo the initdb, so that I can create a new Linux user
Administratorand use it to create the database via initdb?<br /><br /><br /><br /> Any help will be much
appreciated,<br/> Paul Power <br /> Planitas <br /> Swords <br /> Ireland <br /> ---- Msg sent via Dublin WebMail -
