The Postgresql version is 7.0.3-8 and i am running it on Redhat 7.1.  I dont really worry about the database backup because i had only basically created a few databases with test data at this stage.  So im kind of new to the PostgreSQL.  If i try to service it with Webmin, which worked before the crash, Webmin now returns the following kind of error..for example, retrieving a list of users of the system:

SQL select * from pg_shadow failed : pg_shadow: Permission denied.

I can see the current data in the current database, just cant do anything with that, add users, or give users permission etc.

I dont mind deleting the databases and starting again!!

thanks!
