Bad luser no donut. Seems when i configured this box in /etc/hosts I put 127.0.0.1 computername localhost (instead of) 127.0.0.1 localhost computername Which made 'auto lo' fail in my interfaces file which during debugging got commented out. Subsequently when the machine was rebooted a while back trouble shooting hardware issues lo never restarted. Networking has been all well and dandy to the net, but postgres actually wanted localhost. So problem solved. aegagrus:/etc/network# ps ax |grep postgres 8288 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster 8289 pts/0 S 0:00 postgres: stats buffer process 8292 pts/0 S 0:00 postgres: stats collector process aegagrus:/etc/network# Thank you very much for responding to what was a dumb question. -Derek ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
