The core of the problem was, and continues to be, this: If you move postgresql.conf somewhere else, then someone else will also want to move pg_hba.conf and all the rest. And that opens up a number of security and cumbersome-to-install problems. Just having an option that says, the configuration file is "there", is a first step but not a complete solution. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
