Hi,
>How to run Postmaster with the -i option to allow remote connections?
If you're running v7.2, in the $PGDATA/postgresql.conf file (usually either
/usr/local/pgsql/data or /var/lib/pgsql/data), there's a line with:
tcpip_socket = false
change the false to true, restart postgresql and away you go :)
If you have an older version, you'll have to edit the startup script, and
change it to something like:
pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start -o "-i"
(I think that's right, I use the first way so I'm guessing a little bit).
HTH,
Chris.
