Nobody said any such thing. My point was that permissions and ownership
both have to be looked at. The Debian situation is that there are symlinks
in $PGDATA pointing at root-owned files, and those files are (we think)
also used by other services; so Magnus' point was that you'd probably
better copy those files not modify their ownership/permissions in situ.
