postgres

Really confused.

Upon running

cat etc/passwd

I have found this:

postgres:x:117:126:PostgreSQL administrator,,,:/var/lib/postgresql:/bin/bash

meaning I have a postgres user, right?

I want to change the bashrc environment file of this user to make commands available to it.

 /var/lib/postgresql

doesn't contain a bashrc file, and

/bin/bash

doesn't contain it either, so I don't really know what's going on. All I know is a created postgres using the

useradd

command, so why do I have some weird user with no home directory? So confused :(
