Even when possible, I won't recommend it; not for postgres reasons, but for security. If someone compromises the domain account, could gain access to postgres data with no restriction. Unless there is a reason to use a domain account, of source. Saludos, Alvaro Aguayo Jefe de Operaciones Open Comb Systems E.I.R.L.

Just wondering if it is recommended, or not, to run Postgres as a domain account on Linux. If not, then why not? Thank you, David
