Having a bit of a problem gettin 6.4.1 running on RH 5.1. Source went
into /usr/src/pgsql and runtime into /var/lib/pgsql [RH default dir
for postgresql].
Everything went without a problem until the initdb process, which
keeps failing with the error messages below....PGLIB & PBDATA paths
correctly functioning, environment seems proper, postgres has correct
permissions, etc, etc.
Any help greatly appreciated...

initdb: using /var/lib/pgsql/lib/pg_hba.conf.sample as the host-based authentication
control file.
We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=100).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.
