The directory is set to /dev/null. I also forgot to add that I'm using OS X 10.4. Since obviously /dev/null means the bit-bucket, what should I set the home directory to?

Always CC the list, you'll get much faster/better responses.

Set the home dir to the base of your postgres installation. If you installed postgres into /usr/local/pgsql, set it to that.

Hello,
  I'm going through the elongated instructions of installing pgsql and
am stuck at the point where one types:

%> su - postgres

When I type this and type in the password I chose, I get the following
error: 'su: no directory'

What directory does /etc/passwd have for the postgres user? Does it exist?
