Whenver I have installed postgres (as the postgres user), it has always installed everything owned by postgres:postgres. I've never installed postgres as root, except for the Perl interfaces (which must be installed by root). This was the recommended procedure in earlier version of PostgreSQL, but it seems in the newer documentation, it recommends *against* installing as the postgres super-user. -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Toddlers are the stormtroopers of the Lord of Entropy. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
