Which usually matches the package name lower-case.

The problem was that it was thought that ledger-smb was a better
representation of the name LedgerSMB than ledgersmb was.  Of course,
LedgerSMB.org works, but ledger-smb.org doesn't.  So maybe this causes
confusion and maybe at some point we will want to have the other
domains too. :-)

Right.

Postgresql login role.  Only needs the right to create database
objects (the default).

Right.  However, does Fedora require ident sameuser?  Or is that just
the standard way it works?  I know the Debian and Ubuntu startup
scripts have issues if you change the identd sameuser for all users,
but I didn't think the RedHat ones did (even there I suspect that
/home/postgres/.pgpass would work to prevent the problem).  I have not
seen anyone have that issue with Fedora though....

As I say, it is fine for now.  We will probably want an "Installation
Readme" that can be redirected from the .htaccess file so that the
user can be told what to do to complete the installation.
