hi all

when I switch to my postgresql-user, I get this error-message:
myserver:~# su - postgres
su: /etc/postgresql/postmaster.conf: No such file or directory
I can't find this file anywhere on the machine.  Funny enough, I can create dbs etc.
How can I create a postmaster.conf and what is it for?

Thanks a lot,

Chris
