Hi,
I installed the final version of Postgres onto our Dec Alpha OSF/1
machine. This time it passed the initdb command but failed at the
postmaster command with the following message:
% IpcMemoryAttach: shmat() failed: Permission denied
Does anybody have any ideas on this one? Thanks.

REF: Postgres Reference Manual, pg 33.
'A likely explaination is that another user attempted to start a
postmaster process on the same port which acquired shared resources
and then died.'
Given that the previous attempt resulted in an ugly *splat* this
seems plausible.
Try running 'ipcclean' and doing it again.
