The usual way, like "psql 2>/dev/null", but if you didn't know that then it's unlikely you did it. I have seen symptoms roughly like this one with really ancient SELinux policies (the first draft of the policy tried to suppress direct writes on /dev/tty from any Postgres executable, IIRC :-(). But I didn't think RHEL3 had SELinux. Do you have /usr/sbin/getenforce and if so what does it report? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
