[GENERAL] Default directory for postgres user?

2006-07-02 Thread Victor Escobar
What should the default directory for the postgres user be? I'm using 
OSX 10.4. Right now, the default directory is set to /dev/null.

The shell is probably /bin/false right? That indicates that the 
postgres user won't log in to an active session. If that's an issue, 
then you should change that to whatever you like (probably 
/usr/local/pgsql/).

I've set the home directory to /var/empty and the shell to /usr/bin/ 
false, like most of the other daemon users. /dev/null should be ok  
though.
