Re: [Spacewalk-list] Why the PostgreSQL superuser permissions required?

There is no real reason other than the person who wrote it expects that its a dedicated database server just for spacewalk, so it shouldn't matter. Also it reduces the amount of testing on the install script. That said I installed without giving the spacewalk user full superuser privileges and it was fine. The big thing is to give the user full control of its own database and plpgsql is installed in advance.

I believe the reason is for the user to be able to create the plpgsql
language.
