Hi Marc,
what happened with the patches at http://docs.freevps.com/doku.php?id=freebsd:changelog?
Those patches are supposed to make IPC run without collisions in many jails, thus solving the
classic problem with postgresql, allowing the admin to use the same uid, PGPORT in all pgsql
server instances.
Do you know if any of this stuff make it anywhere in official FreeBSD?
