I have discovered that the default init script distributed with pgsql v8.1 sets the listening port to 5432 but does not enable tcp/ip connections. One must add the -i switch to the invocation line in the script. I am not sure if this is an oversight or whether there is another way to tell postmaster to start with tcp/ip listening enabled that I am unaware of. However, I thought that this information might be of interest to anyone else running a non-distro version of pgsql.

Jim, also be aware that there is a non-password login from root on that distro, as well as the CentOS version. I found out the hard way after being compromised by some idiot portscanning me. No damage, but thought it odd to have a password-less service open to the world.
