Dear Sam.

Thank you very much for your help. You've solved my problem.

But I still can not login to my PostgreSQL-Server.

Here what I've done:
"
postgres@sussy:/root> createuser -D -P ricky  
could not change directory to "/root"
Enter password for new role: 
Enter it again: 
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
postgres@sussy:/root>  

sussy:~ # rcpostgresql restart
Shutting down PostgreSQLServer angehalten
                                                                     done
Starting PostgreSQL
                                                                     done

sussy:~ # psql -U ricky -W
Password for user ricky: 
psql: FATAL:  Ident-Authentifizierung für Benutzer »ricky«
fehlgeschlagen (I translate it: psql: FATAL:  Ident-Authentication
for user »ricky« failed)
sussy:~ # 
".

I'm sure that I used the correct password as "createuser" the
account of 'ricky'.

Please keep telling me.

Thank you very much in advance.
