Hmmm Try,
$ su -
Password: blah blah blah
# su - postgres (or what ever account debian created)
$ createuser -P sol

Same problem ???

Also when you send small ammounts of output, it's prolly a good Idea to 
capture the command:
---
~/tmp$ cat /etc/shadow
cat: /etc/shadow: Permission denied
---

Something like that.


Yours Tony.
