hi'
i have two problems:-

when i try to execute the command:-

[shambakey1@shambakey1 shambakey1]$ postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

it gives me the following error:-

Temporary failure in name resolution
WARNING:  could not create listen socket for "localhost"

when i try to execute the command:-

[shambakey1@shambakey1 shambakey1]$ postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -i

Name-lookup isn't working. It's strange that you can't resolve
"localhost", but you should look at your DNS setup.
