PostgreSQL 8.0.2 - Fedora 3

postmaster starting
-bash-3.00$ LOG: could not open Ident usermap file

LOG: database system is ready
-bash-3.00$ bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/etc stop
pg_ctl: PID file "/usr/local/pgsql/etc/postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is postmaster running?
-bash-3.00$
Seems inconsistent? If I can start from etc... I should be able to stop
from it as well.
