I am just about to install Postgre. I have ordered the CD but I can't wait,
too much excitement. At any rate the manual (Administrator's Guide, Chapter
4) states:

2. Create the Postgres superuser account...
The owner of the Postgres files can be any unprivileged user account...
3. Log in to the Postgres superuser account...

I am somewhat confused - it is a superuser account but it is unprivileged?
So it is just the account which installs the Postgre files - the owner.
Does this account belong to any particular group?
