It's just that -w isn't required any more (i.e., the same command works with or without the -w flag). I'm not sure the docs should change, since -w is still required at least on NetBSD. -- Patrick TJ McPhee North York Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Rebooting FreeBSD solved it. Huh? Is it really like W#&@$#&? Looks like the PostgreSQL documentation here ( http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/kernel-resources.html ) is now outdated. From http://www.manpages.info/freebsd/sysctl.8.html : "The -w option has been deprecated and is silently ignored." It's not ignored as in "the whole command will have no effect". Only the switch itself is ignored. So, sysctl -w a.b=c is 100% equivalent to sysctl a.b=c Looks like the correct thing to do here now is to edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file, then issue: /etc/rc.d/sysctl reload to use those values without needing to reboot. (I don't actually have such a machine to check for sure). Yes, that will work. Sysctl.conf will not reload itself :) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

If it is your own machine, then most likely you are not in a jail. You would know if you were since you would have had to do it. If at an ISP once way to know if you are in a jail I think is to try to ping and traceroute. I think by default you can't do one of those within a jail. Also try ifconfig. A jail will show you a single IP. A "real" machine will show you usually at least two. 127.0.0.1 and some other address. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
