RE: specifying a username for a DB
Maybe this will help. Its from the postgres static doc version 7.3.1.

RE: specifying a username for a DB
log in as root
go to the command promt(or console as you call it)
type service postgresql start
there should be a confirmation saying that service started
type su postgres
then type createuser somename
there will be a question saying
"should user be allowed to create/drop databases?"
type y
then create a database by typing
createdb dbname
then type
psql template1
then type grant all privileges on dbname to somename
that should be all
