However, when I need to do maintenence, I can simply go in and change the shell then change it back. That's very different from giving user postgres a permanent shell. And as I'd be rebooting (only because I'm still learning and not because there might be problems with the system) more often than I'd be doing maintenence on PG, I need to be able to get PG to start up during boot. Perhaps I'm being overly paranoid but I've already been hacked once due to lax security. I'm just trying to cover all of my bases. thnx, Chris
