IIRC, connecting 'locally' only opens unix sockets, not tcp sockets.
Browse through the postgress configuration file (mine's in /usr/local/pgsql/postgres.conf I think- don't have it up to check it). In this file you will see options for tcp vs unix connections. Select the appropriate tcp options and restart postgres. Postgress should start up a listening service on port 5432 (default) Use netstat -an to check.
