I'm thinking maybe the postmaster inherited the open file from its parent process. If it's not marked close-on-exec, which evidently it's not since the child processes have it too, then this could have happened as far as Postgres itself is concerned. I'm having a bit of a hard time imagining how an open file could have gotten transmitted from some other initscript to this one, but it seems more probable than any other theory at the moment. Do any other processes besides PG have that socket open? If you stop and restart the postmaster, does it open the socket again? 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
