#2214: Missing privileges requirements from Testing section
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  mloskot        |       Owner:  robe 
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  medium         |   Milestone:       
Component:  documentation  |     Version:  trunk
 Keywords:                 |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 The [http://postgis.net/docs/manual-dev/postgis_installation.html#id375515
 2.4.4. Testing] section does not give any hints on system and database
 user privileges required to run the tests.

 Assuming that installation from sources is performed ''not as postgres'',
 but another non-root user with sudo privileges, then it would be good to
 add a note on how to avoid common errors while running make check as non-
 root non-postgres user:
 {{{
 psql: FATAL: permission denied to set parameter...
 psql: FATAL:  {Peer|Ident} authentication failed for user...
 }}}

 Pointing to PGUSER and PGPASSWORD variables may be worth as well,
 with relevant md5 authentication set in pg_hba.conf.
