That's pretty interesting --- I'd say it's a flat-out bug in the FC4
version of chcon. Filed as
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159973

I'm not sure whether the quickest fix from a Red Hat POV is to fix chcon
or just alter the initscript for Postgres. But certainly your best bet
to have something working today is to edit the initscript. Or of course
you can just manually create the file with the right context ...
