[postgres(at)oak postgres]$ initdb
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/local1_template1.bki.source as input to creat
e the template database.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/global1.bki.source as input to create the glo
bal classes.

cation control file.

We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=100).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.
