Hi Oliver,

When I did this, and then did 'service postgresql restart' the service failed 
to start.

I have managed to get it working by amending the pg_ctl command in 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql to add

-o '-o -e'

but as I said before I seem to remember that this was frowned upon because the 
next time I upgrade it'll get overridden.

BTW, I'm running 7.2.3 from the RH RPMS.
