 Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign]:
 > Looks like base sets a newly created user's shell to /usr/bin/false by
 default, if the portfile doesn't override it. So the fix would be for
 postgresql*-server not to set shell, unless of course there is some reason
 why it requires this.

 > Unfortunately as far as I know there is no provision in MacPorts base
 for a port to alter its user account after it has been created.
