Thread: Default directory for postgres user?
What should the default directory for the postgres user be? I'm using OSX 10.4. Right now, the default directory is set to /dev/null.
The shell is probably /bin/false right? That indicates that the postgres user won't log in to an active session. If that's an issue, then you should change that to whatever you like (probably /usr/local/pgsql/).

I've set the home directory to /var/empty and the shell to /usr/bin/ false, like most of the other daemon users. /dev/null should be ok though.
