Legacy. Shouldn't be an issue now as long as TCP/IP listening isn't on --
but then again, I don't know that, thus I have to make sure networking is up

good thing.

In this RPM incarnation there is the assumption that only one postmaster is
running. This will change once multiple config files are easier.... :-)

I would appreciate patches against the current release as opposed to your
personal development spec file.
