I have installed Postgres from source on a server running Debian 2.2.20.

It works fine, I can use psql and have created a database and couple of
tables. BUT I can't get access from a remote machine.

telnet svr 5432 produces:
  telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

(I haven't fiddled with the default port)

Where as I get a connection to MySQL on port 3306

The /etc/services file includes the lines:
postgres        5432/tcp                        # POSTGRES
postgres        5432/udp                        # POSTGRES

I can't find any refeneces to failed attempts to connect (using either
pgAdmin II or telnet) in the postgres log file or any other log file for
that matter.

Can anyone suggest a cure?

Regards,
David Stephen
