Re: postgresql83-server - Further Woes

I have a license for and use DetectX Swift. I wrote to the developer. Phil’s full reply is below. I am a bit wary about simply telling DetectX to ignore this. Something is going on and I want to know what it is. I’ve written Phil back to let him know what I learned from this list. (I am gratef

Periodically DetectX generates the following message: = Items: org.macports.postgresql83-server.plist Some background launch items have just been changed on your mac which can affect its security = I had previously uninstalled postgresql83-server and can’t find org.macports.postgresql8
