did you use yum to install everything? do you use any non-standard
CentOS repositories ?
CentOS 5 came with an older version of PG (8.1, I think?), so where did
you get 8.4 from, and how did you install it originally?
the PGDG packaged postgresql versions for CentOS/RHEL appear to use
`runuser` instead of `su` if selinux is enabled ... so this is likely a
selinux related issue.
