PostgreSQL/SELinux Error - relation "pg_catalog.pg_user" does not exist

As you have pointed out it restricts the security granularity of the 
system, which in turn will lead to other "work arounds" to achieve 
better granlarity and those work arounds will ultimately lead to 
sloppiness, making Johns point very valid indeed.

I am glad you found it funny, its always best to keep a light hearted 
approach and standback and laugh at yourself from time to time, it took 
you long enough but you got there in the end, and not through any lack 
of effort on your part either ;-)

well done
