I'm running suse 8.1, but it can't be that different.
As I recall, the directory is set up for read/write access only by use
'postgres' - you'll need to 'su' to that first. I tried opening it up, and I
think the database then refused to run.
I ran it all from that user. I didn't get very far ... notably because the
machine insisted on freezing given some time alone running postgresql, but I
did get a table built and a perl script inserting a few thousand rows of data.
If that doesn't help, can you post some listings for the directory
properties. I think you'll find the database in /var/lib/pgsql/data.
Apoligies for being vague, all the machines with postgresql installed on are
powered down right now!
regards, Ben.
