I concur.  The only way you could get that message is if the packets
were being summarily dropped before they got to the postmaster.  I
suspect FOlkeN has ipchains or something similar that's configured
not to allow nonlocal traffic to reach port 5432.  (That is the default
configuration on Red Hat Linux 7.2, for example.  Not sure about OSX.)
