Hi! I'm getting this error whenever I try to change the superuser of my database to anything != postgres.
The same error shows up if I do "-U <someuser>" on Unix and "someuser" does not exist in /etc/passwd. Probably the same reason - since win32 will not have any users in /etc/passwd.. It works on 7.4, so probably related to the initdb-in-C rewrite? //Magnus d:\msys\1.0\local\pgsql\bin>initdb -D d:\pgtemp -U pgsuper The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres". This user must also own the server process.
