One thing is for sure: MacOS X, neither panther (10.3) nor jaguar (10.2) have a user named 'postgres' as default. And Apple Remote Desktop 2.x which uses internally a postgres 7.3.2 database to store statistic data does not use the postgres user afaik, it uses root...
I'll take your word for it. I just can't recall creating one, yet it was there. Maybe from something I did with fink. I see a mysql user also. I know I did not create or install that :).
Fink creates a postgres user, amongst others, as part of the base install. (Well, it's one of the strongly suggested packages, but close enough since pretty much everyone puts it in)
