I've run into this more than a few times myself. What I've been told when I complained about it is "that's normal because selinux log messages are rate-limited to avoid inflating the log files too much". Which is plausible in itself, but rate-limiting to zero is not helpful. Feel free to file another gripe in Red Hat's bugzilla. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
