I worked a bit more with repmgr. I found that the initscript doesn't
respect the $user variable all the time. Hence this new patch (which
includes the changes from the first patch).

I'm also wondering why we do have this new OS user (repmgr). It seems to be
more a burden than anything else. Actually, they have a much better
initscript in upstream that makes use the postgres OS user. The RPM package
should embrace that change.

Regards.
