Seems reasonable, but "postgres" is a mighty poor choice of name
for that, no?  I don't have any really great substitute suggestion
--- best I can do offhand is "walreceiver" --- but "postgres" seems
uselessly generic, not to mention potentially confusing compared
to the default superuser name for instance.
