Trying out PostgreSQL for the very first time. I
get an error when I try this for an initial
experimental run...

baal: {16} sudo /etc/rc.d/pgsql start &
[1] 1245
baal: {17} Initializing PostgreSQL databases.
initdb: unknown option -- m
Try "initdb --help" for more information.

[1]    Exit 1                 sudo /etc/rc.d/pgsql start
baal: {17}


...so I next enquire thus...


baal: {17} initdb --help

...and sure enough, there is no option 'm'. Anybody know what gives?
My packages for NetBSD 2.0.2 are these...


baal: {18} pkg_info | grep sql
postgresql80-client-8.0.3 PostgreSQL database client programs
postgresql80-server-8.0.3 PostgreSQL database server programs
