postgres-alikes gmadm postgresSame here, that last line is only needed if you have a system user gmadm which you want to use to handle the bootstrapping. In fact, the whole pg_ident.conf business is only needed when you want to bootstrap as a user different from either root or postgres.
I noted (from my exclusion of gmadm from my sudoers file) that without sudo, the system user gmadm cannot bootstrap.
Why is that, since I would have thought that proper configuration of postgres would cause PostgreSQL to allow gmadm to do whatever PostgreSQL would allow postgres to do.
Is it a "postgres" thing, or is there something that must be done at the system level that requires that gmadm be a sudoer?
