Joshua,

   Well, something's wrong:

[rshepard@salmo ~]$ psql -h localhost -U postgres aesi
Welcome to psql 8.1.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
        \h for help with SQL commands
        \? for help with psql commands
        \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
        \q to quit

aesi=# \q
[rshepard@salmo ~]$ psql aesi
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
         Is the server running locally and accepting
         connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

   I used to be able to connect to an existing database just by typing it's
name after the command.
