The one in our contrib/?  That's pretty old, crufty, and unmaintained.
The one most people actually use on RPM-based systems is the one that comes
with our RPM distribution ... is there a reason you're not using the RPM?

Anyway I would guess the problem comes from the fact that the contrib script
uses "su".  The RPM script doesn't:

# For SELinux we need to use 'runuser' not 'su'
if [ -x /sbin/runuser ]
then
    SU=runuser
else
    SU=su
fi

and eventually

        $SU -l postgres -c "$PGENGINE/postmaster -p '$PGPORT' -D '$PGDATA'
${PGOPTS} &" >> "$PGLOG" 2>&1 < /dev/null

but you really ought to adopt the whole script not just that one bit.

I believe FC3 didn't have SELinux security ... it certainly didn't have it
enabled by default.
