Installation problems
Hello,
I'm going through the elongated instructions of installing pgsql and
am stuck at the point where one types:
%> su - postgres
When I type this and type in the password I chose, I get the following
error: 'su: no directory'
Anybody know how I fix this? I've Googled and came up with nothing.

What directory does /etc/passwd have for the postgres user? Does it exist?

The directory is set to /dev/null. I also forgot to add that I'm using
OS X 10.4. Since obviously /dev/null means the bit-bucket, what should I
set the home directory to?
Always CC the list, you'll get much faster/better responses.
Set the home dir to the base of your postgres installation. If you
installed postgres into /usr/local/pgsql, set it to that.
