I wrote a script that creates a new database from an existing backup.
Works great on my machine. Another user tries to use it and sees the

could not change directory to "/root"
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

Why is it trying to change directory to /root??? Running as the
postgres user.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
maybe he did an "su postgres" and not a "su - postgres" ? the latter
does the equiv of a login, while the first only changes hte effective user.
