This part of the documentation is really aimed at being short. Please note as well that this has been added to the documentation of Postgres 10 with this commit: commit: fbe7a3fa45f360e73ce141e51005a3e86cd1926c author: Peter Eisentraut <pete...@gmx.net> date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 10:46:31 -0500 doc: Add advice about systemd RemoveIPC Reviewed-by: Magnus Hagander <mag...@hagander.net> Here is the link to it: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/kernel-resources.html#systemd-removeipc And the important quote: "Packaging and deployment scripts should be careful to create the postgres user as a system user by using useradd -r, adduser --system, or equivalent." -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
