Welcome over, PG is *normally* much better behaved than this and
generally gives very good error messages.

I don't think you want to be passing "-p" here; it's saying to use
"ricky" as the port number, which fails (sounds like a bug if it doesn't
complain about this) giving a port number of zero, which is why you see
this:

the ".0" is normally something like ".5432".

Maybe you want "-P" to be asking for the password?
