Not. I before was creating a user with the command "createuser", and then,
like as user "postgres", was executing the command " pg_passwd data/passwd ",
where one was guarding the user and his key encripted. Hereby, in the file
"pg_hba.conf", it was had by place (the authentication ) this way:
password/var/lib/data/passwd

I will study more held up the documentation.

Thank you very much.
