The value takes the form of a comma-separated list of host names and/or numeric IP addresses. The special entry * corresponds to all available IP interfaces. If the list is empty, the server does not listen on any IP interface at all, in which case only Unix-domain sockets can be used to connect to it. The default value is localhost, which allows only local "loopback" connections to be made. This parameter can only be set at server start. 2) Use the -o switch to pass commands to postgres. See below: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/app-pg-ctl.html -o options Specifies options to be passed directly to the postgres command. The options are usually surrounded by single or double quotes to ensure that they are passed through as a group. -- Adrian Klaver aklaver@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
