Licensing, security, or other?â?? Packaging policy: daemons shall not run merely by virtue of having been installed. Otherwise, if you install a boatload of software without checking each package, you'd have a boatload of probably-unwanted and possibly-incorrectly-configured daemons running. Which is a performance problem and likely a security hazard too. It's a good policy IMO (though I used to work there so no doubt I've just drunk too much Red Hat koolaid). 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
