postgresql_user in 010.pgsql.sh

[Michael Mulligan]

The current port hardcodes the postgresql_user as "pgsql" in pgsql.sh.tmpl:

   postgresql_user=pgsql

I want to make the suggestion to make this configurable via /etc/rc.conf
- the default would remain "pgsql":

  postgresql_user=${postgresql_user:-"pgsql"}


Thanks for considering this.

My post was terse, not explaining why I was asking for this.  Perhaps
I have a weak reason: it is just for convenience with some legacy
operational conventions where both the UNIX username and the
Postgresql super user were named "postgres".  My workaround has been
to make the edit locally as indicated in my first email.  I thought other
folks might find this useful.

Thanks for your reply.
