Hi,



I�m running postgres 7.4.3 on HP-UX 11.11. When I want
to connect to my db, I have the following error:

psql: FATAL: _mdfd_getrelnfd: cannot open relation
pg_class: Permission denied


Do you have any idea where i have to look. I already
looked at pg_hba.conf file and it looks ok.


Regards

Sounds to me like you started the postmaster as the wrong user
(not the one who did initdb).
