Hi,

	I will be getting Vr4.1 and building on the SPARCs at
	working it the near future, but I don't understand
	the PGHOST env.
	
	a) you set the PGHOST env var to the backend machine. ie
	
		sarum@lontw002:12% setenv PGHOST lontf001

	b) can you then run monitor on a database you have already
	create on 'lontf001'? ie
	
		sarum@lontw002:13% monitor quote_history
		
	c) or must you run a postmaster as well on you local machine.
	
		sarum@lontw002:14% postmaster &
		
	d) I asumed that you only run a postmaster on the
	backend machine. ie
	
		postgres@lontf001:1> postmaster &
		
	and then linpq.a and monitor could talk via sockets to
	it.
	
Yours - a confused UNIX programmer and system admin.
