I am trying to start postgresql via webmin, but not having success. I
get a message in the syslog "su:(to postgres) root on none"

This is suse 9.3. Could someone tell what that message means?

I was working until I added the -i to the postmaster.opts file so I
could access it via pgadmin.

It just means something is switching to user=postgres from user=root.
Nothing too unexpected.

Ah - you want to edit postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf not
postmaster.opts - turn internet access on in the first, and set
authorisation rules for the connecting machine in the second.

Thanks for the info. I was trying the old .conf files from a database
trasfered from 7.54. The tcpip enable is different between it and 8.03.
Got it working now with pgadminIII.
