Thread: Cisco & Postgres

Not exactly sure if this is worthwhile pointing out, or if someone
already has, but I got a couple of Cisco 7305 Content Engines the
other day. Today, I was working on configuring them, and noticed
that they're running Linux as an os with Postgres on it. Not quite
sure what it's used for, other than probably for configuration info.
                    

It's just nice to be able to say, hey, xyz uses Postgres, so should
you. :)

Yep, we noticed this a few years back. I think someone was googling for
postgresql and ran across a bunch of mentions in their on-line
documentation.  Out of curiosity, what version were they running?

Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

I'm not sure which version it is.  It doesn't really say anywhere,
and the device itself is a limited 'ios' shell. Of course, I could
boot off of another linux cdrom and mount the filesystems, but i
have concerns about loosing support if I do that. It probably
wouldn't happen, but I'm paranoid, especially when I may have
support needs for putting it into production. :)

For what it's worth, the Apache version is 1.3.27, which is fairly
current, so I wouldn't be suprised if it's in the 7.3 strain.

Here's some of the postmaster log, though. I don't know if it'd help
anyone figure out which  version it is:
