Basically, create a normal user acount on the unix box. Don't make the
superuser of the box (root) the superuser of the database. On my box I
have a normal user account for a user called postgresql, while to unix it
is nobody special to the database it is the superuser.

Yes, but it should probably be a user created for just the purpose of
being the postgresql superuser. Less likely to frag your database that
way.

Not necessary to my knowledge. I alway setup a unique group for each user
anyway as it doesn't hurt anything and in some cases it can be usefull.
