ok - thanks that makes sense....

so what about the operating system account that is different?  What we 
are planning on doing with the OS acct (postgres) is only allowing users 
sudo ability to this account.  Nobody should be able to directly log 
into it.  Do you think that will cause problems?   
You should treat the postgres account like root. In reality nobody
should be logging in as postgres on the OS except for extremely specific
purposes.
