Apparently you are reading documentation that applies to Postgres 7.*.
8.0 doesn't have that parameter any more. You probably don't need to
change anything in the 8.0 config file, but if you do, listen_addresses
is the thing to change (set it to '*' if you want to connect to the
database from other machines).
