18.1. The PostgreSQL User Account

+ As with any server daemon that is accessible to the outside world, + it is advisable to run PostgreSQL under a + separate user account. This user account should only own the data + that is managed by the server, and should not be shared with other + daemons. (For example, using the user nobody is a bad + idea.) In particular, it is advisable that this user account not own + the PostgreSQL executable files, to ensure + that a compromised server process could not modify those executables. +

+ Pre-packaged versions of PostgreSQL will + typically create a suitable user account automatically during + package installation. +

+ To add a Unix user account to your system, look for a command + useradd or adduser. The user + name postgres is often used, and is assumed + throughout this book, but you can use another name if you like. +
