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

Try postgres.postgr es, otherwise that looks okay AFAICT.
