Have noticed most of the posts deal with postgres 8.3. I am working with snv-87 
which has /usr/postgres/8.3 available but 
svc:/application/database/postgresql:version_83 is not a FMRI. So I've been 
working with postgresql:version_82. Initially I wanted it to be in 
/export/home/postgres/data and had no trouble populating that directory but 
svc: would always go straight to maintenance also noticed it would also 
populate /var/postgres/8.2/data even though not directed to do so. 
Anyway gave up on that and have no trouble populating /var/postgres/8.2/data 
only and getting svc:/application/database/postgresql:version_82 enabled but 
when I attempt to createusers it always gives : FATAL: role "root" does not 
exist. What does exist default? How can I add users? Would postgres 8.3 work 
better? How can I get svc:version listing for it? Can not createdb either 
without error.
Sorry for the novice questions any advice would be appreciated.
