And who gets 5432, and Unix socket naming, it starts to get messy.....
I assume that anyone running multiple versions knows how to specify all
that stuff when initializing and starting the different servers.
From the comments I saw it looked to me like other systems (Linux?) had
already solved this problem. Was I wrong?
They have, we (*BSD) just need to make sure we document it, and we make
damn
sure we don't break existing folks.
I'm willing to help on the FreeBSD side.
