If I wish to use Kerberos and Postgres, how do I set the user who can initially
create databases? It would be much simplier if I didn't need to make a
postgres kerberos instance... do I?

you need to register all users who interact with the database,
including the postgres superuser. if that's *you*, and you're already
in the kerberos database, then you don't have to do anything else.

What we are wanting is to provide a binary release which will allow anyone
to set up a postgres server on any of 700 machines -- I don't want to be
involved once it gets going ;)
Is there a way to set the postgres superuser's identity at initdb time?
