Well, I did run it as root, but I have just this moment figured it
out, the name was _postgresql (I have no idea where that name comes
from)...
I got the tip from the startupscript hint...

My next problem, is that it refuses to let me log in from phpPgAdmin,

testing :-)

Thank you all for your help so far !!
