The Postgresql start up script is in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql
if you strace service postgresql start you might see why it won't start.
It won't have anything to do with the hba.conf yet - but it may later (once
the daemon is actually up and running )

Subject: [ADMIN] PostgreSQL not starting after changing Hostname
Hi everybody,
I'm quite a new guy on the Linux World and I have a tremendous problem
with ProstgreSQL, the problem is that after changing the name of the
host (via Network Manager in KDE) and restarting the server, the
PosgreSQL (and other things like XWindow) stopped working.
I tried to restore the original name via changing the "/etc/hosts" and
"/etc/sysconfig/network" files and running the "/bin/hostname -s"
command but it didn't resolve my problem.
The server is running Linux RedHat 7.2 and PostgreSQL 7.2
Any ideas?
