You didn't mention which version either of those machines are running. I
believe in 7.1 Postgres the database filenames changed to a numerical
database id of some sort. Prior to that, they were named the same as the
database. I don't know the reasoning behind the switch, but I'm fairly sure
it was to make some future features easier to implement. Anyway, I suspect
that your Solaris machine is running a version of 7.1 (RC1?) while your
Linux box has 7.0.3?
