Joshua,

  Well, something's wrong:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ 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
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ 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.
