I am running FC3 with targetted policy. When I try to start the postgresql
server I get avc: denied { write } messages in the system log. ie:


May 16 14:07:23 localhost kernel: audit(1116277643.114:0): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=13355 exe=/usr/bin/postgres name=pgdb dev=hda2 ino=6471728 scontext=user_u:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=dir
May 16 14:07:23 localhost kernel: audit(1116277643.115:0): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=13355 exe=/usr/bin/postgres name=pgdb dev=hda2 ino=6471728 scontext=user_u:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=dir

May 16 14:07:23 localhost last message repeated 27 times
May 16 14:07:24 localhost pam_timestamp_check: pam_timestamp: `/' owner UID != 0

Is there a problem with the tagetted policy that prevents me from using postgresql?

Thank you
