Where did you get this version of Postgres? The main config file
should be $PGDATA/postgresql.conf. Anything else is probably the
result of your system's packaging having done some magic. But in any
case, unless I'm misremembering, the work_mem setting isn't in 7.4.
You can check the docs on postgresql.org. There's a whole section on
the configuration variables, and manuals are available for several
releases back.
