I was asked on IRC just why we can't have user=postgres and group=postgres in the postgresql.conf, and simply when we are run as root, switch to that user and group.
I should think that running as root up until sometime after we have read postgresql.conf would open up more security issues. It's certainly not a way to close this one...
postmaster could use postgres/postgres by default, overridable by command line.
