It may be very simple for you and me, but remember that nowadays the
Linux distros come with "ident sameuser" authentication preconfigured.
Someone, somewhere, has to tell them to create a database for themselves
and how to do that, and that they need to use the postgres user to do
it.  It's not rocket science, but for a true newbie it's impossible
(those guys rarely read manuals, remember).
