Use a different UID for the pgsql user in each jail if you run more than one.

We've been running multiple jails each with PG inside the jail for years, I
don't recall anything terribly special there aside from:
-ensure that PG in each jail runs under a unique UID
-ensure the sysctls for shared mem stuff are high enough to handle multiple
running PG instances
-ensure that you have set jail_sysvipc_allow="YES" in rc.conf
Trimming the rest after that top-posting discussion. :)
