Hi folks,
I'm new to postgresql so please bear with me. I've got PostgreSQL
installed and working successfully on my OpenBSD machine. I'm also installing
the TPE patches which do a few things:

Prevent execution of binaries that are in directories not owned by root
Prevents interpreters from reading from STDIN
Protect most proc info and *stat stuff
Strips LD_PRELOAD and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Is there any reason that PostgreSQL or postmaster would have a problem
with this or has anyone tried these together? (It's always possible to
designate postgresql as a trusted user so it doesn't have these
restrictions but I'd rather not if I don't have to)

Thanks,
Joshua Jore
