Perhaps we are arguing at cross-purposes. Are you saying that the postmaster should seek config files as, eg, $PGDATA/etc/postgresql.conf instead of $PGDATA/postgresql.conf? That would be all right with me. I thought you were proposing to move them to /etc (absolute path), which isn't all right ... > Secondly, everyone seems to like the 'include' idea, and it gives > per-line control over file sharing. Yeah, I think include is non-controversial, the argument is about what else (if anything) to change. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
