That creates a user, not a database, but you need to do that also. > when i execute the following command i am asked for password 2 times..after > that a question pops asking me if i want this role to be able to create new > roles.

Check the ident map for user 'postgres' running on the host from which you issued the command. Make certain that the OS user account you are using will be mapped to the 'postgres' DBMS user account. Also check to be sure that the host is running an Ident daemon and that it is configured and operating correctly. The "create new roles" question should not be related to the problem you have reported. Either policy will do as far as DSpace is concerned, so I would recommend "no". -- Mark H.
