Hello, Let me ask about the background of configuration files. I couldn't find the relevant information in the 8.2 documentation. I'm sorry to cause you trouble.
In section "17.1. Setting Parameters", include directive is described. Why was this directive prepared? What usage is assumed? Is it for GUI tools, or for placing custom parameters in other files? In section "17.2. File Locations", the following parameters are described: data_directory (string) config_file (string) hba_file (string) ident_file (string) external_pid_file (string) What demand is assumed for placing configuration files outside the data directory? Is it for placing configuration files in /etc to conform to the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, as documented below) to enable the backup of all configuration files on the system? http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
