Hi Palle,

Myself and Phil here at experts-exchange worked on a what we think to be a
great patch that could in theory be considered for the other postgresql
servers.

The initial patch was not good, and I understand why that hasn't been
considered. I put a follow-up patch, but found that did break as you pointed
out.
Today we put in a patch that fixes all of it, and makes the user, group and
id configurable. Builds cleanly in Tinderbox, as well.

We look forward to your comments on this.

Thanks!
Jason

I'll check it out, but I believe a correct patch is not quite as simple, it
needs some tuning when installing files as well, but I may be wrong.

Hi,

I was hoping you would be able to consider implementing this PR
(ports/113707) in all applicable versions if possible?

This patch makes the postgresql_user a tunable variable.

As it stands now, we are maintaining this internally due to this issue,
and would rather release internal maintainership for such a small issue.

# diff files/postgresql.in.new files/postgresql.in.orig
36c36
< postgresql_user=${postgresql_user:-"pgsql"}
---
postgresql_user=pgsql

This patch has been on "over to maintainer" since 2007, and was hoping
you would have a moment to look at this.

Thanks so much,
Jason
