D'oh! I assumed that roles created via the "createuser" utility had
the password for the system user account. SELECT * FROM pg_roles;
showed passwords for all roles where I expected nulls or empty strings
where no password was set. Doing as you suggested did the trick.
My thanks both to Tom and to Raymond.
