        Hi , 
      
        
        I am using RHEL to install Postgres 10 and setting up
        replication . But in my OS no postgres user exists . Installed
        it with sudo access . Can I run the postgres DB with all it's
        utility (like psql, vaccumdb , pg_rewind , initdb etc.) along
        with Master slave replication, archival process without postgres
        user. 

      
    How are you installing it?  (Packages will automatically create
    Linux account "postgres".)

    
        If it can be done , do I need to follow any extra step to the os
        user apart from postgres ?
      
        
        Is there any way to skip postgres os user ?
    
    
    Why?
