Please use the 'tcpip_socket' line in postgresql.conf instead of -i. When the initscript is updated the next time you upgrade PostgreSQL, you will lose your -i. But postgresql.conf will not get this treatment, and it is the recommended way of doing this in the RPM environment. At least it is by me, but what would I know? All I do is maintain the RPMs.... -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
