The important is user identity, you can check it by 'id' command:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
# su - postgres
$ id
uid=31(postgres) gid=32(postgres) groups=32(postgres)
Your '-bash-2.05b$' is only prompt and depend on PS1 environment value
setting. You can found more information in 'man bash' in the
/etc/profile file or other places...
