Yes, Yes, absolutely yes. Change the Postgres shell to /badsh,
restart your machine (or Postgres) and look on in horror as
your virtual sites are no longer shown :^) Luckily, if you do
this to yourself, it is a simple fix. Just change the shell
back to /bash and do a /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres start, enter
username and password and it's back to your regularly scheduled
Cobalt-Users mailing list discussions (flaming).
Take care.
