Hi,

I'm running postgres on a Linux server SuSE SLES. When I run postgresql
8.0.3, I get /tmp/.s.PGSQLl.5432 socket open with group and owner
permissions. The group permissions are the default group of the postgres
account and the owner is postgres. If I want to start postgres with a
non-default group called db-admins or something is that an option?

2.6.5-7.191-smp #1 SMP Tue Jun 28 14:58:56 UTC 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linu

1 postgres wheel 37 2005-11-29 10:30 .s.PGSQL.5432.lock
srwxrwx--- 1 postgres wheel 0 2005-11-29 09:50 .s.PGSQL.5442
-rw------- 1 postgres wheel 37 2005-11-29 09:50 .s.PGSQL.5442.lock

See

particularly unix_socket_group and unix_socket_permissions.
