Re: [GENERAL] OS X Install

[Monte Milanuk]

I'm kind of at the same point:  I d/I'd the postgreSQL package from 
entropy.ch, and it apparently installed OK.  As mentioned, there already 
was a postgres user in NetInfo (Panther on an eMac).  Tried just 
changing the password, home directory, and shell to valid values instead 
of '*' and '/dev/null'.  Couldn't login via 'su - postgres' at all. 
Tried deleting the postgres user in NetInfo, and re-creating via the 
Account Manager, but I kept getting an error message that I couldn't use 
that name (postgres).

I read the post above about deleting the group info as well; that 
allowed me to create a user 'postgres' via the Account Manager.  Figure 
I'll have to twiddle the home dir and shell and whatnot via NetInfo. 
How do I make that user not visible in the login selection?  Should I 
delete the user 'postgres' in the Account Manager and re-create him w/ 
the necessary parameters (shell, home dir, password) from the Terminal?

Thanks,
Monte
