While this _does_ work, why not use postgresql.conf for its proper purpose?
The RPM initscript, for security reasons, does not by default enable -i
anymore. It did at one point, which, in hindsight, was an error on my part.

Eventually the RPM initscript will support multiple postmasters. Some of
those may need tcpip_sockets and some may not. Each postmaster will have its
own PGDATA and its own postgresql.conf, but there will only be one initscript
with an iterative loop. Use the GUC file -- it's there and it works.
