Sorry for the long delay, but the holidays and school got in the way. I originally thought this was originally a PostgreSQL problem (or so I thought), but it seems to be an LXC one now. Anyway, I've added "lxc.utsname" to my containters' configuration files, as suggested by another user. I'm still left with the same problem that I had before. I have one container set up (email) which run perfectly, and I'm working on a database container, but when I run:
"/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data" to set up my database, it errors out with: "sh: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied fgets failure: Success The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the same directory as "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb". Check your installation." I tried adding sudo privileges for user "postgres" but then I get "initdb: cannot be run as root" I can attach logs and config files as necessary. I'm kind of at a dead end here.

Dear Patrick, As I understand /dev/null isn't writable in your container. That's definitely a wrong configuration. Please check, that there is a real device node for /dev/null (and others) in your container and you have it (and others) in the lxc device access control list (lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:3 rw) Note that -- depending on the linux flavor in your LXC container -- you might have to populate /dev by your own, because it's not reasonable to run udev or something like this inside a container.
