Creating DB
Until creating root database it's always show error could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied. To overcome this error we should need to create a root database. only for avoid error while login using root user.
# [email protected]:~ #
su - postgres
# Last login: Tue Jan 01 12:00:00 MYT 2013 on pts/0
# -bash-4.2$
createdb root
Similarly you can create a database as same as your frequently used OS User. In this case no need password to login. It will authenticated from OS. That's means you can login to your PostgreSQL user using OS Authentication.
