Hello,

For 8.0 are we going to allow group modifications to the data
directories for PostgreSQL? It is kind of silly that it must be 700.
I think we should allow at least 770. This allows you to have
administrators with postgresql.conf editing rights without giving
them the ability to su to postgresql.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
