I seem to have gotten OSX 10.3.7 in a weird state where I can't sudo to kill a process that is trying to sudo to start another ... I just want to start the PostgreSQL interactive shell, but I can't seem to ... nor can I kill the other processes trying to start it ... am I not understanding something?

Regards,

John
