I tried to ask on that bug for some more clarity on what exactly a "system account" was, where this behaviour was documented, whether it should really determine the system account uid threshold at COMPILE TIME by reading login.defs from configure (!), etc. I just got a "take it to the mailing list" sort of dismissal. I'd rather stick my hand in a meat grinder than post to the systemd mailing list, especially given the way the prior discussion on the topic went based on the archives, so I left it at that. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
