What do you get from ls -Z /usr/bin/pg_dumpall ls -Z /usr/bin/pg_dump ? On a reasonably up-to-date Fedora Core 3 system I get -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:bin_t /usr/bin/pg_dumpall -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:bin_t /usr/bin/psql but it sounds a lot like you have something else, like postgresql_exec_t (which is set up to forbid writes to /dev/tty, I believe). If so, try restorecon on these files to see if that fixes it. If not, you have an out-of-date SELinux policy RPM ... update that, or complain to CentOS that they haven't borrowed Red Hat's latest version yet ;-) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
