Changing file ownership should be sufficient as far as PG itself is
concerned, but if you have SELinux enabled (which you should) I'm
not certain how this will affect its rules. I think that the answer
is "it doesn't", or at worst that you'd need to reboot after changing
the /etc/passwd mapping, but it's something to keep a side eye on.
