I see... However, I'm not sure where this file belongs. Should I put it
in /etc? There is a sample config file under
/usr/share/pgsql/postgresql.conf.sample, should I simply rename this
file and leave it where it is?
I can't find an actual postgresql.conf file anywhere.
Thanks again for your help.

I would recommend not to modify that script, if possible.
Instead, you should enable the appropriate option in your
postgres.conf file: tcpip_socket = on
For details on the configuration file, see the official docs
(look for "TCPIP_SOCKET"):
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/runtime-config.html
Note that you should also have a look at the pg_hba.conf
file, which controls access to databases by hosts and
usernames.
