Hi!
I'm getting this error whenever I try to change the superuser of my
database to anything != postgres.
The same error shows up if I do "-U <someuser>" on Unix and "someuser"
does not exist in /etc/passwd. Probably the same reason - since win32
will not have any users in /etc/passwd..
It works on 7.4, so probably related to the initdb-in-C rewrite?
//Magnus
d:\msys\1.0\local\pgsql\bin>initdb -D d:\pgtemp -U pgsuper
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale
Swedish_Sweden.1252.
