Problem solved!

When using pg_ctl to make the postmaster see a pg_hba.conf file that had been edited while the database server was running, I got a message that it looked for, but did not find, the psql script in the /usr/lib/postgresql/bin directory. So I copied this file from /usr/bin (where the apt-get install postgresql had installed it) to /usr/lib/postgresql/bin. And while I am still having trouble invoking a psql command line prompt, I am now getting postmaster starting up automatically at boot up, exactly as /etc/rc#.d says it should.

Is there some appropriate place I should report this problem to the folks who build and maintain the Debian package for postgresql, so this matter can be handled in future distributions?

Hello:

Although /etc/init.d/postgresql script is listed in each run level startup script at /etc/rc#.d, for some reason completely beyond me, postmaster must be manually started each time I boot up. Any help getting the database server to automatically start at boot up would be appreciated.

Thanks,
