Hello!  I just installed the Postgres 4.0.1a binary for 
Linux.  It doesn't include a README file, so I am guessing
there is something wrong with my installation.

First, I got an error message "UID: Read Only" when I do
initdb.  Then I ignore this error, and do createuser.
I add a user tomkwong whose postgres uid is same as its
unix account uid.  No error.  Then I login as tomkwong,
and try to do createdb.

Then I got this message:

	tomkwong@sun$ createdb phone
	FATAL 1:Nov 23 11:25:25:User hb is not in pg_user
	/usr/postgres/bin/createdb: database creation failed on phone.

I am new to the postgres system and have no idea about what's 
going on.  Please help if you know the answer.

My installation procedure goes as follows:
	1. create user postgres (uid = 502)
	2. unpack the postgres binary tar file
	3. sh moveme.bin
	4. initdb	<-- which gave me a waring about UID
	5. postmaster &
	6. createuser tomkwong
	7. etc.

Thanks for any help, and I wish you all have a happy 
Thanksgiving!

-Tom
