I had postgresql running in potato, utilizing the 'postgres' user. I would be skeptical of any fix that involved nuking that user and not putting it back at some point. Is it back in your passwd file? Also, may I ask which version of postgresql, i.e. which deb you are using, assuming you installed from a deb? I am having trouble getting the postgresql server to *start* after last night updating potato to all the latest and greatest, including postgres debs of 6.5.2-3 vintage. Now /var/log/postgres.log tells me: '/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster: -B must be at least twice -N and at least 16.' I don't know what that means. Yet. <g> I have gone through /etc/postgresql and can't find any reference to those vars in any of the config files. -- Bob Bernstein http://members.home.net/ruptured-duck at Esmond, RI, USA "I think it's a bad treaty."
