I'm attempting to run pgsql through a tunnel. I'm using the default
pg_hba.conf file for now which has the relevant information:

------------
local all all
trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255
trust
------------

I assume this means that the back end will bind to 127.0.0.1:5432
since that seems to be the default port number.

Yet, when trying to come through the tunnel I get this in my logs on
the 'server' machine - the one running postgres backend.

-----------
Aug 18 16:00:40 dbsrv1 sshd[41006]: error: connect_to ::1 port 5432:
Connection refused
Aug 18 16:00:40 dbsrv1 sshd[41006]: error: connect_to 127.0.0.1 port
5432: Connection refused
Aug 18 16:00:40 dbsrv1 sshd[41006]: error: connect_to localhost port
5432: failed.
-----------

Am I missing something obvious?
