Hello All, I am trying to add a postgres user in the %post section of my kickstart file for RedHat 7.0. In my %post section I set postgresql to start and stop in the 3rd run level then I try to add a postgres user called adam. When I do a kickstart, no postgres user gets added. If I set that one line up in a script and run the script from a prompt a postgres user does get added. Do I need to reboot between starting/stopping postgresql and adding the user? I believe postgresql creates the user called postgres which I am trying to use in my last command. How come my reboot command doesn't seem to do anything? Any thoughts on how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks! Rebecca %post #start and stop postgresql in the 3rd run level /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 postgresql off /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 postgresql on #reboot #add postgres user called Adam, at this time only user postgres can add other users su - postgres -c "createuser adam -d -a"
