sysconfdir
Is there any way to tell where postgres is looking for it's config file,
or to tell it where to look? I compiled the 7.1RC4 source tarball with
--prefix=/usr/local (and using stow to keep things tidy in /usr/local)
but it is entirely ignoring the postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf files.

These files live in the data directory ($PGDATA), where initdb puts them.

I would like to see an option for putting the conf files under a
directory in /etc at some point, with the ability to have more than one
installation available, as well. That is one thing I am going to try to
get done during the 7.2 dev cycle -- RPM support for multiple databases
with tools to manage them.
And that would be an option, and could easily default to off, BTW.

You mean a "master" configuration file that is read first and sets the
defaults for the "local" configuration files? That seems doable.

Have the config files always lived in PGDATA or was that a new feature
of 7.1? I always used the Debian packages till now but switched to
the source tarballs for 7.1 because I couldn't get the Debian packages
to install.

And (I forgot to say) the Debian config files were in /etc/postgres
