Consequently, the server does not start: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgres start su: unknown login: %%PG_USER%% Workaround: define postgresql_user=pgsql in /etc/rc.conf*. Please remember to bump PORTREVISION after the fix. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Install postgresql-server-8.4.9. 2. Make sure that your /etc/rc.conf or other files do *not* define $postgresql_user, then: 3. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
