Fedora 3? You should've mentioned that before. I'll bet you've got
SELinux enabled in enforcement mode. SELinux interferes with initdb
and I believe a missing pg_user view is one of the symptoms.
This is fixed in the very latest postgresql and selinux-policy-targeted
RPMs (u need both), but the path of least resistance is often to dial
SELinux down to permissive mode (sudo /usr/sbin/setenforce 0) for long
enough to do the initdb.
If you're running SELinux in strict rather than targeted policy, good
luck ... I honestly haven't tried that one at all ...
