I had a similar problem before with an older version of PostgreSQL. The problem was that the rc script was waiting for input from the user. It was waiting for a password.

It might help to post the versions of PostgreSQL and FreeBSD you are using. > -- > > ___ > oo // \\ || Gerard > (_,\/ \_/ \ || gerard@seibercom.net > \ \_/_\_/> || > /_/ \_\ || "If today is the first day of the rest of > ___________ || your life, then what was yesterday?" > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" Best Regards, Rick Apichairuk
