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?
