I set the DateStyle in /etc/profile, which works for ISO, but not for
European. That may have to do with locale settings in the RPM I have
installed.

It's a lot simpler if it works for you. Just put this in /etc/profile:

export PGDATESTYLE='European'

Since the postmaster script uses "su -l" it gets the environment, including
things setup in /etc/profile (assuming the postgres user's shell is bash).
