I agree, no problems on RH for me too.

I agree with the default no networking conf and I think that
with 7.1 there you do not need any more to set command
line options ("-i"), now everything goes in the .conf  file.

I would rather set chkconfig to start a little bit later and to stop
the service sooner in the shutdown, something like
# chkconfig - 95 05

Then chkconfig --add could go in the rpm install script.


Finally I did not find the new pg_restore tool for
reloading databeses from new style dump archives.
You can check with
rpm -qil postgres-*|grep restore

For this reason I had to recompile pgsql from
scratch.  I think it should go in the RPM packages.

Thanks again to the RH packages maintainer.
