I am trying to access any database or to create a new one, without much luck. I noticed the port made a user called pgsql. Am I supposed to use this? I tried using that user by becoming root and then that user. Then I tried psql. It complained about database "psql" not existing. If I try "psql test" it gives me read access denied. Any hints on getting PosgreSQL going on FreeBSD? I bought a book and I am looking at the tutorial, but before I can use them I need to be able to create a database or use the "test" database.
