I had postgresql running in potato, utilizing the 'postgres' user. I would be
skeptical of any fix that involved nuking that user and not putting it back at
some point. Is it back in your passwd file? Also, may I ask which version of
postgresql, i.e. which deb you are using, assuming you installed from a deb?

I am having trouble getting the postgresql server to *start* after last night
updating potato to all the latest and greatest, including postgres debs of
6.5.2-3 vintage.

Now /var/log/postgres.log tells me:

'/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster: -B must be at least twice -N and at least
16.'

I don't know what that means. Yet. <g> 

I have gone through /etc/postgresql and can't find any reference to those vars
in any of the config files.
