If you don't know the user's password, and you have admin access, then it really

That has in there by default since sometime before Jaguar. It's not used
unless you install mysql, but mysql became part of the default install
in the server versions somewhere after 10.0 beta, which might have

I'm kind of at the same point: I d/I'd the postgreSQL package from
entropy.ch, and it apparently installed OK. As mentioned, there already
was a postgres user in NetInfo (Panther on an eMac). Tried just
changing the password, home directory, and shell to valid values instead
of '*' and '/dev

Nathan:
Yes and no. My guess is that either postgres is now a default user included with the Pather version, you inadvertantly created the user once before (or during installation), or Marc Liyanage (bless his soul) created it for you during installation. Of the three, I doubt it is the latter
