I've installed the 9.3 beta 1 packages (via pgdg repo and yum) and when I

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user

This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".
Data page checksums are disabled.

There seems to be a bug in the init script. If you don't give a location
for pg_xlog on the command line, it uses $PGDATA/pg_xlog, which confuses
initdb:
# If the xlog directory is specified just after the locale parameter, use it:
if [ -z $INITDBXLOGDIR ]
then
INITDBXLOGSTRING=`echo $PGDATA/pg_xlog`
else
INITDBXLOGSTRING=`echo $INITDBXLOGDIR`
fi

# Initialize the database
$SU -l postgres -c "$PGENGINE/initdb --pgdata='$PGDATA' --xlogdir=$INITDBXLOGSTRING --auth='ident'
$LOCALESTRING" >> "$PGLOG" 2>&1 < /dev/null
Seems that if INITDBXLOGDIR is not given, it should just leave out
--xlogdir. Devrim?
