Subject:   incorrect instructions for post-install initialization
Message-ID:  <3BC827D5.21585.1DBBA26E@localhost>

After I installed postgresql 7.1.3 from the ports tree, I found this
message on the screen:

"To initialize the database, you should run initdb as the "pgsql" user.

Example:

  su -l pgsql -c initdb

You can then start PostgreSQL by running:

  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start

For postmaster settings, see ~pgsql/data/postgresql.conf"

It appears pgsql is not contained within this release.  I suspect the 
instructions are out of date.  I think the correct instructions are:

su -l pgsql initdb /usr/local/pgsql/data

Make sense?
