Peter Eisentraut 664ce79dd8 Fixes for Cygwin, with help from Pete Forman <gsez020@kryten.bedford.waii.com>.
Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.

Bruce Momjian 67cd018e77 Startup is actually start-up. 2000-08-29 20:02:09 +00:00
Bruce Momjian c51041f4ba Here is a patch against the same cvs tree as the SSL patch (Aug 20).
I hope I didn't mess the SGML up too bad, but somebody should definitly
look that over. I tried to steal as much as I could from around :-)

This patch updates:
* Installation instructions (paragraph on how to compile with openssl)
* Documentation of pg_hba.conf (added "hostssl" record docs)
* Libpq documentation (added connection option, documentation of
  PQgetssl() function)
* Add section on SSL to "Server Runtime Environment"

If you beleive any particular area needs more attention, please let me know.

Peter Eisentraut 996832caee Make the location of the Kerberos server key file run time configurable
(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()
if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system.

A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there
is one.
