Bullseye! Packet filtering was the problem, and was solved by allowing packets destined to port 5432 in ipchains.

Another possibility is that the connection request is being dropped on the floor by kernel packet filtering. The default filtering in RH 7.2 is pretty aggressive (just the other day I had to change quite a few things to get it to allow incoming and outgoing NFS, for example). Check your ipchains setup in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains. IIRC, the default ipchains setup does *not* filter localhost connections, but I think it would apply to connections showing a source address of your Ethernet IP. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
