Assuming there's no way around doing this (it's generally not a good idea), you can just use the simple program 'fakeroot'. This program changes the return values from system calls via LD_PRELOAD, so PostgreSQL thinks that the user it is running as isn't root. It's commonly used in testing and packaging systems. http://man.he.net/man1/fakeroot -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
