   I get the same message when running "/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start".  I
   have just installed 7.0.3 rpms from ftp.postgresql.org
   <ftp://ftp.postgresql.org>  .  I'm running RedHat Linux 6.1 .  I've never
   seen this message either.  Something to do with the new version of
   PostgreSQL?
   
   Thanks.

   H-
   
   I got an email from helpful person (John Burski) and this is what he said.
   
   **********************************************
   I saw this one a couple of days ago at home.
   
   The /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql script expects to be run at boot time by
   "root".  I simply "su-ed" to root an ran the script again.  It started
   OK.
   
   Regards,
   ******************************************
   
   Hope this helps out.

   PS(I haven't tried this solution yet myself as I'm in a different place than
   when I posted the first email.)
