BTW, initdb is no longer a script - some idiot rewrote it in C :-)
And it does have a switch for setting the superuser password:
-W
--pwprompt
Makes initdb prompt for a password to give the database superuser.
If you don't plan on using password authentication, this is not
important. Otherwise you won't be able to use password
authentication until you have a password set up.
