Relatively minor. All docs say to use "su - postgres" - it doesn't
You talking about this?: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/install-short.html That is building from source and shows creating an OS postgres user. The only other thing I have seen is this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL and it shows: sudo -u postgres psql postgres
seem to work right with linux. The difference in using the OS user postgres and the postgres user (role) postgres is confusing. Even if we set the postgres password to "postgres", it doesn't accept the password. With linux we have found that "sudo -u postgres psql" works. But not sure this is right or the best way.
