Some comments on the two issues I am addresing with my changes.
First, the postgres user account. The Macs I am running Postgres
on are also used interactively. The Login screen is set to list
mode. Unlike other unix accounts created for use by daemons, the
postgres account shows up in this list, which adds confusion to
other users accessing this machine. This behaviour can be sup-
pressed by setting the shell variable in the NetInfo database
to /usr/bin/false as shown with many Apple supplied software.
The user account is something that needs some work. I agree that
the user created here shouldn't be visible in different lists.
However, I may be wrong, but I have thought that user visibility is
governed by user ID that for most daemon users is less than 100
that is the horizon in this case. The id area below 100 is however
Apple's area, so we can't create any id there.
Actually, JKH says user IDs below 500 are reserved by Apple:
