#14083: compatibility improvement for postgresql82-server --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: apinstein@mac.com | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by apinstein@mac.com): Thanks! Yeah, for what it's worth, we discovered this when installing macports postgres on a box where a different postgres had already been installed from source and installed according to the postgres instructions. So the system already had a "postgres" user with no shell, and the MacPorts postgres wouldn't run. The su vs sudo thing didn't cause any error messages to be shown, either, so it took a few hours to realize what was going on. Hopefully this will help save others some time and be more secure. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14083#comment:3> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
