Hello,

i have installed postgres 8.0 beta3 as a program on my pc on windows
xp. I have read on the installation note file that postgres server
will not run with administrative permissions. I have read on your
forum that this happened because i have installed the beta version: is
it true that this happen only with the beta version? When will you
plan to release the production version?

I think you may have misunderstood the docs. PostgreSQL doesn't run
under any account that has machine admin / root privelages because that
makes any small security issue in postgresql into a root level exploit,
and that's a bad thing.
