 launchd startup script for PostgreSQL executes pg_ctl with permissions of
 the 'postgres' user, using su. The problem is that the 'postgres' user by
 default has /usr/bin/false shell which prevents it from executing any
 commands with su. In order to make the script work I had to manually
 change the shell to /bin/tcsh. I'm using Tiger.

 To reproduce:

 {{{
 # su postgres -c id
 [NO OUTPUT AT ALL]
 # chsh -s /bin/tcsh postgres
 chsh: netinfo domain "." updated
 # su postgres -c id
 uid=252(postgres) gid=252(postgres) groups=252(postgres)
 }}}
