>Description:
The home directory of pgsql user for PostgreSQL package (i.e /usr/pkg/pgsql,
because the default is ${PREFIX}/${PGUSER}) isn't created by default.
Thus, some third party script, which assumes "su -l ${PGUSER}" works
to invoke pg_ctl, fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
install PostgreSQL server package, and try "su -l pgsql".
>Fix:
Create the home directory? (maybe /var/pgsql is better than /usr/pkg/pgsql?)
Unless we are intentionally making the home directory missing.
FWIW, jlam said he'll handle this issue.
