Nice article. > Now we have to wait for an administrator to “su – postgres”. Likely? Eh. This isn't that unlikely. On Debian/Ubuntu, postgres is the database super user and doesn't have a password set by default so the way to administer PostgreSQL is to su to postgres and then run psql/createdb/etc (it relies on local ident authentication).
