Linux MANDRAKE startup startup script is broken ?

Hi,

I had a request from bulgarian user of postgres. He complained
about non-working locale. His system is MANDRAKE 7.0 which comes
with postgres 6.5.3 I believe. After several messages we found
that problem was in startup script /etc/init.d/rc3.d
su -l postgres -c 'postmaster .......'
The problem was '-l', after removing it all problems were solved !
I'm not an expert in su, at least I don't know what '-l' is supposed
for, but it's worth to describe the problem and let people from
MANDRAKE to know.

Regards,

Oleg
