This was actually done deliberately since the current infrastructure does not enforce that a cluster is owned by 'postgres' at all. You can create a cluster for an arbitrary Unix user. > Suggestion; Changing either the user or group of the default log > directory to reflect postgresql itself, as part of the package > installation process. Hm, I acknowledge that postgres-owned clusters are the common case, so maybe root:postgres 1775 would be quite appropriate as well. The sticky bit would still prevent postgres clusters from messing with non-postgres cluster's log files.
