Hi,
I have a doubt about the following chapter in the 3.6 document.
4.1. The Pgpool-II User Account
As with any server daemon that is accessible to the outside world,
it is advisable to run Pgpool-II under a separate user account.
(snip)
It is not advisable to install executables owned by this user because
compromised systems could then modify their own binaries.
To add a Unix user account to your system, look for a command useradd or adduser.
The user name pgpool is often used, and is assumed throughout this book,
but you can use another name if you like.
I think postgres user is often used to run Pgpool-II, rather than pgpool user.
Does not the document recommend this operation?
