Scott,

   That port's clear:

[rshepard@salmo ~]$ telnet localhost 5432
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

   Huh!

[rshepard@salmo ~]$ psql -h localhost -l
          List of databases
    Name    |   Owner    | Encoding
-----------+------------+----------
  aesi      | sql-ledger | LATIN1
  cms       | rshepard   | UTF8
  postgres  | postgres   | UTF8
  refdb     | postgres   | UTF8
  scirefs   | rshepard   | LATIN1
  template0 | postgres   | UTF8
  template1 | postgres   | UTF8
(7 rows)

   So, why can't I connect to a database by entering, for example, 'psql
aesi'?

Thanks,

Rich
