I know that I am connecting to the right machine - it's the only one
running postgresql on this network.  I double-checked the $PGDATA directory
- that's OK.  The log file just has the same error as the one that pops up
in a box on my Windows machine.  I'm really confused by this whole
problem.  I even tried connecting from an other computer here in the office
- same problem.
