I don't remember they had to provide those GUCs: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/runtime-config-file-locations.html hba_file (string) Specifies the configuration file for host-based authentication (customarily called pg_hba.conf). This parameter can only be set at server start The bug certainly is on PostgreSQL for providing the facility to relocate the hba_file without providing any way for pgadmin and other utilities to handle the situation?
