Re: BUG #5267: initdb fails on AIX: could not identify current directory

I turned on audit - it continues to say michael as user for accountability.
Notice: su changes to /home/postgres and initdb changes to
/usr/local/pgsql/bin

FS_Chdir michael OK Thu Jan 07 16:06:35 2010
su Global
change current directory to: /home/postgres
MLS Data:
Not supported

FS_Chdir michael OK Thu Jan 07 16:06:38 2010

change current directory to: /usr/local/pgsql/bin
