<p><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">Hi all,</font><br />        <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">When I try to
run"initdb" id get the messing "creating template1 database in c:/postgres/data/base/1 ... Execution of
PostgreS</font><p><fontface="Comic Sans MS" size="2">QL by a user with administrative permissions is not permitted. The
servermust be started under an unprivileged user ID to prevent possible system security compromises.  See the
documentationfor</font><p><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">more information on how to properly start the server." 
</font><br/>        <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">OS I am using : "Windows 2000 Professional"</font><p>       
<fontface="Comic Sans MS" size="2">I understand this message.  Actually I created a new user "postgres" with password
asdifferent than "postgres", also gave permission to the "c:\postgres" (installation folder) with "postgres" user
permission. When I specify "runas /noprofile /user:postgres cmd" and then when I specify "initdb" I am getting the
aboveerror message, this is with Postgres 8.1, in the past with postgres 7.x I am not facing this
problem.</font><p>       <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">One surprising observation what I see is that => when I
run"initdb" the cmd shell is showing "The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"pk00xxxx".</font><p><fontface="Comic Sans MS" size="2">This user must also own the server process." where "pk00xxxx"
isthe machine what I logged in.  </font><p><b><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">Question:</font></b><br /><b>       
<fontface="Comic Sans MS" size="2">How to configure "initdb" to use "postgres" instead of "pk00xxxx" user.  Anyone
kindlyhelp in this regard.</font></b><p>        <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">Thank You.</font><p><font
