The underlying UID/GID will necessarily be that of the OS account that
is running initdb. I don't see why you need to worry about it.
If you don't want the Postgres role name of the initial superuser role
to be the same as the OS account's name, you can select something else
using the switch Adrian mentioned --- but that's really mostly
cosmetic. It has nothing to do with OS-level privileges.
