It is far less error prone to use the tools that Postgres provides to create the role and the database. This amendment also ensures the created role password is encrypted.

Configuring Postgres database
These are instructions for setting up NNTPChan with Postgres as the data-storage system.
##Configuring Postgres
A user with sufficient privileges to run su is required (hint: you can use root). This command switches to the Postgres user, creates a Postgres role called srnd, and prompts for a password. For illustrative purposes, we will use srnd as the password.
# su - postgres -c "createuser --pwprompt --createdb --encrypted srnd"
###Important
It's easiest to connect to Postgres using role-based authentication. In this case, our Linux user srnd matches up with our Postgres role srnd, so role-based authentication can take place. If you're running SRNDv2 as a different user (e.g. nntpchan), you will need to create a role that matches that user using the command above.
