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 34 times May 16 14:07:23 localhost kernel: audit(1116277643.116:0): 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 37 times May 16 14:07:23 localhost kernel: audit(1116277643.117:0): 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?
