postgresql error with selinux enabled in FC2

[joe]

hi,
I use FC2 with selinux enabled, as root I can't do "/etc/init.d/postgresql
start".
Any idea to run postgresql with selinux enabled ?
thx

Other than upgrade to FC3?  AIUI, the remaining problems with SELinux in
FC2 aren't very fixable, and the general recommendation is to upgrade.
The reason is the underlying infrastructure was reworked between FC2 and
FC3.

In particular in FC2, postgresql has no policy.  Also, its init scripts
still use 'su'.  Definitely the best option is to upgrade to FC3, as
postgresql is now in the targeted policy with a number of fixes.
