We are initializing the database system with username sql (uid=508).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.

initdb: creating template database in
/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1
Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -Q template1
WARN:heap_modifytuple: repl is \ -9
initdb: could not create template database
initdb: cleaning up by wiping out /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1
