Hello Every one,

I have a local server here and this is what's happening:

[root(at)gw root]# service postgresql start
Starting postgresql service: su: incorrect password
[FAILED]

I am able to do perform all the actions manually on command line but not
with postgresql init script.

Please help me with the trouble shooting procedure.

Regards,
Kevin
