There is no need to give either the postgres user or root a password, much less a shell or a login directory, if you use sudo.
(And I have no idea why Apple would suggest using the system preferences
user pane to add the postgres user unless they are intentionally dumbing
it down. It works, but then you have OS login enabled for the "postgres"
user.)
Because some Mac users prefer to use the Finder to manipulate files rather than the Terminal :).
