Cannot reproduce it on my 8.4+CentOS 4 box: -bash-3.00$ initdb --pgdata=/var/lib/pgsql/data --auth=ident ... Success. You can now start the database server using: ... timezonesets directory has already *enough* permissions for postgres user to read it: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-03-19 09:45 timezonesets Are you sure that you did not chmod somewhere between installing package and initdb'ing?
