Startup of 8.3.3 on AIX is outputting these messages into the logfile... LOG: could not bind IPv6 socket: The socket name is already in use. HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and retry. PostgreSQL appears to all intents to startup fine on the UNIX and IPv4 sockets. Is there a parameter to tell postgresql to not attempt to open an IPv6 socket? Thanks, reid
