Root is NOT the superuser in postgres. You need to log on as user postgres.
As root do a `su - postgres' and set up your database. You can add new users
via a script, namely `createuser'. The script will prompt you whether the new
user is able to create/delete/modify databases and tables.

I observed the same problem. Could be a bug with the debian postgres startup
script, could be a bug with postgres not deleting the file on shutdown.
Just delete that file and you can restart the server. Maybe the startup
script should check for existence of that file after shutdown and remove it if
it's still there.
