Installed Cygwin on a Win2k machine. After pouring thru the existing archives about logging in as a seperate database user before initializing postgresql, created a user called postgres, ran the sshd configuration script (selected no when asked "should privilege seperation be used"). then gave the command ssh -l ,<user> localhost and started it as a service. Then gave the command "initdb -D /usr/share/postgresql/data". It started off creating the directories in data and then came up with / Creating template1 database in /usr/share/postgresql/data/base/1/... FATAL:could not create shared memory segment: Function not implemented
Detail: Failed system call was shmget(key=1, size=1081344, 03600) initdb: Failed How do I recover from this and start initdb?
