Hi Charles,

here is what I have in my /etc/rc.conf:

--8<--
# PostgreSQL
pgsql=YES       pgsql_flags="-i -l"     pgsql_home="/disk/databases"
-->8--

The "-i" is not to be copied verbatim if you don't understand the
implications, see "man postgres". In my case I needed it because I
ran admin gui tools on a different machine (and the postgress server host
did not have X installed).

And I think you are right, the wiki page is outdated and needs an update
to make this all a lot clearer.

Can you send a problem report via 

	https://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/sendpr.cgi?gndb=netbsd

in the "pkg" category, please?

Thanks,

Martin
