Contradiction. so what else is new?
But while I'm at it, I wonder if anybody knows why directories are named
"rc.d" and "init.d"?
Init seems clear enough, and rc might be resource, I suppose. What's the .d,
or what happened to a, b, and c?

But when it became fashionable to `install packages' it was a growing pain to patch the corresponding start sequences into /etc/rc with sed and friends.

Dunno about that: I was starting up with Lamar Owen's postgresql start|stop
script, so the pg_ctrl thing doesn't apply, does it?
See Tom Lane's plausible explanation a couple of days ago in this thread.

If that doesn't work, you have a basic network misconfiguration somewhere you're going to have to trace down. Next,`attempt to telnet to localhost -- if that doesn't work, you still have a network problem. Postmaster can't listen on a nonexistent network interface, even with -i. This may also explain AOLserver not listening on port 80 -- what does AOLserver's error log say about where nssock is listening?
