Re: problem to connect to database

I can't use telnet.  If I try [telnet localhost:5432] it always return 
the same error message "Connecting To host:5432...Could not open a 
connection to host on port 23 : Connect failed" but if I do [netstat 
-an], it returns :
...
  TCP    0.0.0.0:5432           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
...

Any idea?
