Re: Problem with postgreSQL (number of backends)

 From my understanding, postmaster.opts just tells you what the config 
parameters are for the running database, and it's over-written upon each 
restart of postmaster.  You'll want to add the options to the script that 
actually starts Postgres.  On a RedHat system, take a look in 
/etc/rc.d/init.d or /etc/init.d for a file called "postgres" and set the 
OPTS line to "-N 256 -B 512".  IE
OPTS="-N 256 -B 512"
