I think we should put some notes about SELinux causing issues with  
pgsql in the OS notes or FAQ.

Myself and a few coworkers just spent a few hours tracking down why  
pg_dump would produce no output.  We'd fire it up in strace and we'd  
see all the successful write calls, but not output.

We copied pg_dump from another machine and it worked fine, and that  
machine was running the same OS & pg rpms.

Eventually we found it was SELinux was preventing pg_dump from  
producing output.

Any thoughts?  I could write up a short blurb but I'm not terribly  
familiar with selinux. we just disabled the whole thing to make it work.

For the record:
CentOS 4.0
postgresql-8.0.2-1PGDG.i686.rpm (and associated) rpms from  
postgresql.org's ftp server
