You probably need to configure your firewall. RedHat 7.2 installs, by
default, with firewall settings that do not allow access to most ports.
root@localhost> /usr/sbin/setup
Then select firewall setup and add ports 5432:tcp and (possibly) 5432:udp
manually.

P.S. I admire your English. At least you can speak another language.

> I recently installing Red Hat 7.2. One of RPM were your PostgreSql. I
thing that there is a bug in the instalallation. Packet is installed
correctly with no error messages. When I try to init server by
(etc/init.d/postgresql start) the Linux says all is OK. But when I make a
port Scan the PostfreSql Port (5432) is not openened and PostMaster process
is running. So PostgreSql don't work because I can not connect to
databases... In redHat 7.1 all was ok.... But 7.2....
