Ok, what is wrong with making /var/lib/pgsql it's own partition? I do that
myself. On my production server, /var/lib/pgsql is the mount point for
/dev/hdb6.

And you're fond of editing the initscript that can be upgraded on top of you?
The init.d script should not be edited. Really. There is, however, a
.bash_profile in /var/lib/pgsql that sets environment variables that are
propagated to pg_ctl (IIRC). Edit that, as it won't be overwritten on the
next upgrade.
