Обсуждение: Strange startup error

I have had postgres working perfectly up until recently.  Now suddenly I
get an error when trying to run postgres:

% psql
psql: FATAL:  No pg_hba.conf entry for host localhost, user postgres,
database postgres

% postmaster &
LOG:  could not bind Unix socket: Address already in use
HINT:  Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not,
remove socket file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" and retry.
WARNING:  could not create Unix-domain socket
FATAL:  could not create shared memory segment: Cannot allocate memory
DETAIL:  Failed system call was shmget(key=5432002, size=3768320, 03600).
HINT:  This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared
memory segment exceeded available memory or swap space. To reduce the
request size (currently 3768320 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's
shared_buffers parameter (currently 300) and/or its max_connections
parameter (currently 50).
        The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about
shared memory configuration.


Anyone have an ideas?

Postgres is running, no need to start postmaster.

Read the psql message, read the chapter
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/client-authentication.html
and configure pg_hba.conf to meet your needs.

"pg_ctl reload" afterwards.
