Date: 2012jun11 OS: Linux Product: PostgreSQL Keywords: postgresql, postgres Q. There is nothing in /etc for PostgreSQL. Where are its configuration files? A. They are in /var/lib/pgsql/data That folder is created by the the "initdb" command. In that folder you'll find:

pg_hba.conf pg_ident.conf postgresql.conf

Normally you don't need to mess with these files. You give users access to a database, etc using SQL commands.
