Something odd with Postgresql 6.5

From
"Rick Saunders"
Date:
My system logs (RedHat 6.0) are filling up with:

Jun  1 01:01:37 xxxxx PAM_pwdb[3857]: (su) session opened for user postgres
by (uid=0)
Jun  1 01:01:38 xxxxx PAM_pwdb[3857]: (su) session closed for user postgres
Jun  1 01:01:38 xxxxx init: Id "pg" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes

Does anyone know what's going on and how I can fix this? The entries happen
multiple times
per second till the 'respawnning too fast' message pops up and it's quiet
for 5 minutes.

Regards

Show the contents of /etc/inittab - it seems that something keeps on
running and dying.

Hi,

Comment the line relative to pgsql or posmaster (with #) in your /etc/inittab
and run the following command
    telinit q
and then start your postmaster by hand to see what append...
It may fail to start.

After fix uncomment the line and run again the telinit command.

Regards
