Yes. The default RPM installation includes a 'postmaster.opts' file
with '-i' already in place. The additional command line parameters
apparently broke the extant -i. How did I know this was an RPM
installation? Familiarity breeds contempt -- and I'm the RPM
maintainer. :-)
Just in case you don't know, the '-i' parameter is what allows
poastmaster to accept TCP/IP connections. Without -i, postmaster only
accepts local Unix domain sockets, not TCP/IP ones.
