You forgot the -i switch ... so the postmaster is not listening for TCP
connections, only local Unix-socket connections.
Note to postgres crew: I think we ought to think about changing the
postmaster switches so that -i is default behavior, and you have to
supply some other switch if you want to *turn off* TCP access. This
Question is far too Frequently Asked...
