Apparently you were right, postgresql, for some reason, was picking UID 103
to use as "creator" of the installation. I've change that to the user that
I want and it work fine now. I'm haveing a problem with SSL certificates to
use TCP ove SSL but this is a postgresql question and not a FAI question,
so I think we are done for now.
Thank you very much for all of your responses, I am very grateful
