[freeside] freeside-setup problem on Solaris 8- Fixed

[Shivkumar]

hi,
sorry for posting before checking,
I found out that the /usr/local/etc/freeside/secrets file had the
first line as "-e DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside"
took out the -e and freeside-setup worked fine.
sorry for that!

Regards,

Shivkumar
