Hi Charles,
here is what I have in my /etc/rc.conf:
--8<--
# PostgreSQL
pgsql=YES pgsql_flags="-i -l" pgsql_home="/disk/databases"
-->8--
The "-i" is not to be copied verbatim if you don't understand the
implications, see "man postgres". In my case I needed it because I
ran admin gui tools on a different machine (and the postgress server host
did not have X installed).
And I think you are right, the wiki page is outdated and needs an update
to make this all a lot clearer.
Can you send a problem report via
https://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/sendpr.cgi?gndb=netbsd
in the "pkg" category, please?
Thanks,
Martin
