Using Postgres 9.2 with CentOS7.

I ran


+ /usr/bin/initdb --pgdata=/usr/xxx/databases/pgsql/data --auth=ident

without issue however when I try to start the database it complains about the 
lockfile.

FATAL:  could not create lock file "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": 
Permission denied

I know I can change permissions of /var/run of course but I want to change the 
location of the lock file to a directory I already have access to. So I really 
want to change the default location of the lock file to something other than 
/var/run. I've checked the options to initdb as well as looking at the various 
files in the data directory, pg_hba.conf, pg_ident.conf, etc.

Thank you.
