data dir permissions and ownership

CSN
My permissions on pg's data dir got changed. Largely
just curious (since pg appears to be working fine
after changing as below), is this what they should be?

chown -R postgres.nobody data
chmod -R 0700 data

chown -R postgres.nobody data
chmod -R 0700 data


Try postgres.postgres, otherwise that looks okay AFAICT.
