What does "your" ~/.psqlrc have to do with any of this? If you are
executing psql while masquarding at the postgres user its the postgres
user's ~/.psqlrc file that will be looked for.
Typically one doesn't execute psql as the postgres user. They configure
the system so that they can execute psql as a regular user. You should
probably do that and then everything should work like you are thinking.
