Merlin,
I'm not sure about the unix mode/owner, the server is:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5)
Linux linuxbox 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 17:03:35 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Currently there are no other server applications/software running there. I thought that maybe the postgresql could be creating the files because of the specific /var/lib/pgsql path.
Regards,

are you 100% sure the database made them? What's the unix mode/owner/etc?
