Aha! There are known issues with kernel 2.2.1. Either downgrade to
kernel 2.0.3[68] or upgrade to 2.2.5+. Or, upgrade to RedHat 6.0.
You can also download my 6.5.[12] RPMs, which will also help you upgrade
your PostgreSQL databases. You are running the rpm version
(/var/lib/pgsql is a dead giveaway).
You can use netstat -a to find out what's connecting to any give
unix-domain socket or internet socket.
Unless clients are attempting to connect immediately on bootup,
postmaster shouldn't fork a backend at all, until a client connection is
established.
What kind of clients do you have?
