This is guaranteed safe on all Unix systems I know of, because privileged ports can only be listened to by root-owned processes and we know the postmaster won't be one. I am not sure whether it would be possible to start the postmaster on a low-numbered port on Windows though. Anyone know? Even if it's possible, do we want to allow it? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
