Thanx guys, all of your solutions are fine, but I could manage it in a
different manner.
Modified the ident map file to map my special system user to postgres, so I
don't have to
specify the postgres user any more ;)
Thanx!
Gabriele.

Oggetto: Re: [GENERAL] Running postgres with a different user/group
Hi Gabriele,
I forgot to mention one thing.
That means that PostgreSQL is successfully running. Try and connect to
the
database using a different user by passing the '-U' option to psql or by
setting the PGUSER environment variable.
PostgreSQL creates a role/user inside the cluster with the same name as
the user that ran initdb.
Try and connect to either the postgres or the template1 database, by
executing:
psql template1
or
psql postgres
and then type:
\du
This will give you a list of the roles (users) inside the database.
Please make sure you specify the right port and host (or Unix socket) to
psql.
Ciao,
Gabriele
