[ome-users] Further questions about broken server

[Glenn Murray]

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the quick reply.  It seems something that the Mac install 
script would do or document---it has chown'd the directories in 
/Library/PostgreSQL8/ to user postgres, but it seems that a regular 
postgres user has not been created.  It does create a NetInfo postgres 
user with home /Library/PostgreSQL8/ and PG's initdb is supposed to be run 
as postgres, but:

omero3.0b2.3/$ su - postgres
Password:

I don't know what the password is here.

Thanks,
Glenn
