[pgpool-hackers: 4414] Re: Why pgpool.conf value of recovery_user is set to 'nobody'?

[Bo Peng]

Hello,

It seems that it's just a question, so please post it to
pgpool-general at pgpool.net rather than pgpool-hackers at pgpool.net.
This ML is basically used for development purpose such as feature discussion.

Could you please point out where is the code?

I think the default values of "wd_lifecheck_user" and "health_check_user" are "nobody",
and the default value of "recovery_user" is "".

If you want to use these features, you need to set this parameters
using the user names that exist in the DB.
