1. user_1$ initdb -D /tmp/test 2. user_1$ sudo chown -R user_2:user_2 /tmp/test 3. user_2$ pg_ctl -D /tmp/test -w start <-- problem occurs! (Because, there is no role for user_2 in "/tmp/test". But server starting.) > I'd think the right fix is to make it recognize other types of > authentication failures as well. Yes, I agree. I think role and database(postgres) existence check is necessary before starting postmaster. # Or improve the connection test way in test_postmaster_connection().
