My server just crashed because a CPU-intensive build threatened to
overheat the processor so the system shut down. When I rebooted and tried to
start postgres the attempt failed because `data directory
"/usr/local/pgsql/data" has group or world access'. As far as I can recall,
it's always been 755 like the other directories in /usr/local/pgsql.
When I changed the perms to 700 I was able to start postgres. I want to
check that these are the proper permissions (I can run psql from the command
line and access Ledger-123 so I assume they're OK.)
How the permissions on the directory changed when the system shut down
will probably always remain a mystery.
