Tyler,

I made a first effort to use the Postgresql package you prepared but
discovered that I get this message:

warmerda at maxine:~$ pg_ctl start
FATAL:  could not open file "/var/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION": Permission denied
postmaster successfully started

Does it make any sense for a regular user to start postgres or should I
take it for granted I need to be root to start it?  Should we be looking at
a way to start postgres in such a way that it keep lock files and the database
within the FGS package tree?

Best regards,
