The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1053
Logged by:          Jari

Email address:      jari.aalto@poboxes.com

PostgreSQL version: 7.4

Operating system:   W2k/Cygwin

Description:        Configuration should be in /etc/postgres

Details:

It would be better if postgres kept the configurations
files in standard /etc location. Like under
/etc/postgres

Right now the files are under the DATA directory:

  postgresql.conf
  pg_hba.conf

Debian does this, so perhaps that could be used in
the core distribution as well?
