Problems running postgresql

[Richard E Miles]

I have been trying to start up the postgresql postmaster server to a database
which have all failed. The following are a list of avc: denied messages from
/var/log/messages:

May 13 13:20:32 localhost kernel: audit(1116015632.155:0): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=16659 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

Why am I getting write denials? I am running FC3 with targetted policy.
