Hi Tom,
I don't think it has any PG Admin dependencies, it's just a set of c
functions that allow the user to manipulate files
on the server. i.e. for updating the pg_hba.conf and the postgresql.conf.

It needs a source install of Postgresql not pgAdmin to compile.

All I am trying to say is that it should be included in this file:
postgresql-contrib-8.1.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm
so binary linux users can use it almost as easy as the binary win32 users.

Later,

Tony
