Hi,
  I just installed Postgres 2.1 on a Sparc 10 running 4.1.3. I created a
Postgres user with a uid NOT equal to 6. I get the following problem when
starting postmaster:

[retina@ /usr/local/postgres] [12]
% postmaster &
[1] 4893
[retina@ /usr/local/postgres] [13]
% IpcMemoryAttach: shmat() failed: Permission denied

I got around this problem in Postgres 4.0.1 by setting the uid to 6. Do I need
to set the uid to 6?
