You will need to open port 5432 to TCP traffic (assuming you haven't
changed the defaults).

There's almost certainly a graphical firewall configuration tool for RH
Enterprise.

There are also a number of firewall projects that sit on top of the raw
iptables system and make it easier to configure your firewall settings.
