Hi,

I am installing Postgres 9.5 on a Cent OS 7 server. I have done the following:

yum install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.5/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat95-9.5-2.noarch.rpm

yum install postgresql95 postgresql95-server.x86_64

Then I try to switch to the 'postgres' user normally created by installing postgres:

su - postgres
su: user postgres does not exist

If I install the bundled postgres that comes with Cent OS, the postgres linux account is always created.

Not sure why it's not created for 9.5

Regards,

John
