Hi,

we have a problem with the point 20 a. in the INSTALL-Guide.

If we tried to start the postmaster daemon with

>>>>   nohup postmaster -i > pgserver.log 2>&1 &

we got

>>>>>  Ambiguous output redirect.

Our second try was

>>>>  nohup postmaster -i > pgserver.log

but we got only

>>>>>  IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Invalid argument) key=5432001, size=1073152, permission=600
>>>>>  FATAL 1:  ShmemCreate: cannot create region


Maybe there is a problem in file pg_hba.conf.
We tried different possibilities but the result of starting
the postmaseter was allways the same.

Thank you very much for your help!

      Thomas
