Hello,

My name is John Tankersley. I am seeking some help with installation of
postresql on my system.
I have run the configure,make,make install, on my system .
Here is what I've been getting now.
john(at)linux:/usr/bins
pg_ctl -D /data/postgresql/ start
postmaster successfully started.
john(at)linux:/usr/bin FATAL:
data directory /data/postgresql/
has group or world access;
permissions should be U:rwx (0700)

john(at)linux:/usr/bin> ./initdb-L/data/postgres -D /data/postgresql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"john".
The user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locales.

How do I change ownership of server process?

Thanks,

John Tankersley
