Re: rc4, PostgreSQL-installer on WinXP: anybody can read, write and delete in data-dir
This permission is inherited from your Program Files folder, if you
install in the default location. If you install with the data on a
separate partition (which would be recommended for any larger
installation), it's inherited from whatever the parent permissions are
there.
Might be worthwhile to add a notice to the installation instructions
and/or FAQ about this. Will look into that.

Subject: [BUGS] rc4, PostgreSQL-installer on WinXP: anybody
can read, write and delete in data-dirThe default file and directory-rights set by postgesql for
the data directory are such, that anybody has the right to
read, write and delete files.
The installer as well as initdb should set reasonable rights
or the user should at least be warned that he should adjust
the file and directory rights.Regards
