I lied. The Unix id command produces:
JohnGage:~ johngage$ id postgres
uid=502(postgres) gid=1(daemon) groups=1(daemon)
The one-click installer should be very clear about all this.
I think we are very close to Steve Jobs "Chain of Pain" here.
And, once again, I am absolutely dedicated to Postgres.

when you as a user connect to the database server the commands like
psql, pg_dump, etc all use your unix username as the default for the
database username, and your username as teh default for the database
name, unless you specify a different user and/or database on hte
command line.
