one. In adiition, if writing a /etc/sysctl.conf will not work (and that seems to be the consensus) then fink should write a message stating this.
Yes, I agree. I am convinced this whole section of the postgresql package with its allusion to /etc/sysctl.conf is wrong. If the higher values of the shm stuff are really needed, then the package should give instructions to the user how to modify /etc/rc (together with stern warnings about the dangers of doing so.) In any case, the package's assumption that users who have /etc/sysctl.conf "know what they are doing", already was wrong as I can testify: I found out that I do have such a file, quite without me knowing about it. It was installed by some Apple-supplied little broadband-access-tuning package. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
