Sets it to what exactly? And where is it set? A cryptic message in the .conf says something.secret is for mserver5 but ignored if using merovingian, but then does not go on to say what you are supposed to do/set if ineed using merovngian.
in each database dir in the dbfarm, there is a file (*.secret I think) that stores the secret, which is exactly the argument that merovingian passes to mserver5.
I really don't care about using merovngian or not. I just need the db to start automatically at boot as a dameon.
If you don't care, from my point of view you're on your own.
Monetdb seems like a great and fast engine but I have to say it has been really a huge uphill struggle with the amount of bugs and invalid setups I've run into. I've spent the past several days just trying to dig through this with no progress. I hope these bugs can be straightened out quickly. I'd really like to use it but must make some progress. Hopefully we can get this straightened out quickly? Thank you!
You seem to walk a lot of paths that actually seem illogical to me as well. Maybe you better wait a week (or two) untill we have pushed the release out, and then try again using the released products.
