After initdb PostgreSQL as administrator and manually start the postmaster, a normal user is not able to connect with the database the following message is issued: psql: could not connect to server: Bad file descriptor Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? After deleting the content of the directory and running initdb as normal user the following output is given: The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "xyz". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale DE. This locale setting will prevent the use of indexes for pattern matching operations. If that is a concern, rerun initdb with the collation order set to "C". For more information see the Administrator's Guide.
