 I'm not sure if postgresql84 is supposed to work with umask 027, but
 anyway, this happens:

 ———

 I'm running OSX with '`umask 027`' in '`/etc/launchd-user.conf`'. After
 '`port install posgresql84-server`', running this line of the post-install
 instructions:


 {{{
 $ sudo su postgres -c '/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin/initdb -D
 /opt/local/var/db/postgresql84/defaultdb'
 }}}

 result in

 {{{
 ...
 initdb: could not access directory
 "/opt/local/var/db/postgresql84/defaultdb": Permission denied
 }}}


 and


 {{{
 $ ls -l /opt/local/var/db
 drwxr-x---   root  admin ...  postgresql84/
 }}}


 The problem is solved with


 {{{
 $ sudo chmod o+rx /opt/local/var/db/postgresql84
 }}}


 ———

 I don't know where/what/how to solve this, or, like I said, if it's even a
 proper problem.

 Probably related to at least #14706, but not the same.


 Thanks!
