I think there's a couple other patches that have the same effect (that is, initdb is required to take care of them). I think people using the beta should expect to re-build several times, anyway -- if they're not, they shouldn't use beta software. Also, this is basically a "documentation" bug, intended to make postgresql.conf easier to understand, so even if some beta tester doesn't load it, postgresql.conf still works .. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
