not so silly, if you ask me. on my v7.0.3 setup (i use debian
2.2/potato) my /etc/postgresql dir looks like

% ls /etc/postgresql
pg_geqo
pg_hba.conf
pg_ident.conf
pg_options
postgresql.env
postmaster.init
postmaster.opts.default

so maybe they're referring to pg_hba.conf -- or, it may be part
of the source file set whereby compile-time options are set.
just guessing, of course; i could be wrong on both counts.
