During bootup the postgresql server fails to start and produced the
following avc denied message:
Jun 15 05:09:12 new2 su(pam_unix)[2414]: session opened for user
postgres by (uid=0)
Jun 15 05:09:13 new2 kernel: audit(1087290553.569:0): avc: denied {

Jun 15 05:09:15 new2 postgresql: Starting postgresql service: failed
This is in enforcing mode with the strict policy

Thanks for any help,
