thanks for the info.  I've check the postgresql.conf file and have the
following lines:
----------
tcpip_socket = true
max_connections = 40
port = 5432
virtual_host = '127.0.0.1'      # what interface to listen on; defaults to any
----------

I assume I am binding to tcp socket 5432 as sockstat reveals:
----------
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN
pgsql    postgres 41229    3 tcp4   127.0.0.1:5432        *:*
----------

I still get the error:

---------
$>psql -h localhost -p 4001 test1
psql: could not receive server response to SSL negotiation packet: No
such file or directory
---------
and on the ssh'd terminal tunnel session:
--------
$ channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed
-------

Any other suggestions?
