The documentation looks correctly shaped to me per this paragraph above the one you mention here: In addition to postgresql.conf, a PostgreSQL data directory contains a file postgresql.auto.conf, which has the same format as postgresql.conf but should never be edited manually. So, citing postgresql.conf, which can be edited manually, looks correct to me. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
