1. Amendment to linux rc script

   Hi Postgres-people,
   	in the linux rc script for (start|stop)ing postgres
   a comment says to add the following lines to the postgres
   users' .bash_profile:
   
   	PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
   	MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/pgsql/man
   	PGLIB=/opt/pgsql/lib
   	PGDATA=/opt/pgsql/data
   
   There should also be a line to export said variables, like so:
   
   	export PATH MANPATH PGLIB PGDATA
   
   Had problems with that when setting up postgres on redhat just now.
   
   
   Thanks for an excellent database package !

   Seems that is not our script, but made by some other organization.
