Re: ssl

Hi Tom,

I've followed strictly as suggested by techdoc to create certs(server.crt,
server.key, server.req). The only two factors I'm not sure are :
1. where should I put those certs. I've put them in /var/lib/pgsql/data,
where postgresql.conf sitting.
2. what user rights should the certs be. The ones I have now are already
anybody readable.

After setting the above and ssl = on in postgresql.conf, I restart the
server with /etc/init.d/postgresql restart, it failled with no logging in
pgsql (which is logging all local0), or message.log (the system log).
