There's several bug report's on Red Hat's Bugzilla about PostgreSQL and SELinux. You might want to check them out. For starters, there's annoying bug that you must turn off SELinux (or set it to permissive mode) when you start PostgreSQL service for the very first time so that everything initializes correctly. After that you can put it into enforcing mode again, and it will work OK. If you haven't done that, you might want to reinitialize your PostgreSQL installation from scratch (remove everyting from /var/lib/pgsql/data directory). Also, if your /tmp is on tmpfs, there are couple more issues to address (if /tmp is simply part of root file system like most people have it, you shouldn't have problems with it). -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic at pbl.ca> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7
