With the devpgjdbc2 jar, I've been able to use
jdbc:postgresql://linuxmxm/bfdb?user=<username>&password=<password>
(substituting in <username> and <password>.)
I think I found that from digging through the source. Don't know
exactly which versions support this, though. (Also, I'm assuming that
you're using the old-style java.sql.Driver methods, which is what I've
been using.)
