Hi

Just trying out slony1.  Just wanted to make sure I have done all the right
things.

I have 2 postgres servers A B, both servers have 8.1 + the 3 slony packages 
ii  postgresql-8.1-slony1 1.2.6-1        replication system for PostgreSQL
ii  slony1-bin            1.2.6-1        replication system for PostgreSQL
ii  slony1-doc            1.2.6-1        Slony-I documentation


A is the master B is the slave, I have copied over the schema of the test db
(tstdb)

on A 
* I created a /etc/slony/slon_tools.conf
* I updated /etc/defaults/slony1 for node 1 2 (actually needs the numbers not
 the names of the nodes, as defined in he conf file)

* ran slonik_init_cluster | slonik
* ran slonik_create_set set1 | slonik
* ran /etc/init.d/slony1 start


on B
* copied  /etc/slony/slon_tools.conf from A
* ran slonik_subscribe_set set1 node2 | slonik


I just have the nagging feeling that I should be running something else on B.
But it seems to be working ?

The next question is how to add another set, I would presume it would just be

on A
* updated /etc/slony/slon_tools.conf
* slonik_create_set set2 | slonik
* /etc/init.d/slony1 restart

on B
* update /etc/slony/slon_tools.conf
* ran slonik_subscribe_set set2 node2 | slonik



The reason to ask this is that in the documentation on the postgres site they
talk about running daemons on each of the nodes and I don't seem to be doing
that ?
