But, its all analogous to an ocean

Hi Jerome,
You need to edit the pg_hba.conf file which controls the hosts Postgres will
allow to connect.
By default it's set to only allow connections from local host.
pg_hba.conf is located in the data directory of where you installed PG.
You can also tell a host to be TRUSTED, i.e no password
