provided you started the remote postmaster with -i option,simply
replace hostname by IP address :

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dbname

But remember previous posts :IP sockets less secure.(thanks for your
explanation,Gordon )

May be improved with ssh login to the host running the backend then run
psql or front-end programs from there ? Though doing this needs to set up an
user account on the server for every person allowed to connect to the
database .

How do you think ?
