Thanks a lot! It did a trick, so now i can connect to it. I followed
your advice and installed 7.3 client and tried to dump and get this error:

JAIL(at)incubator@root # pg_dump -U ira -h 192.168.0.3 itt_user
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "itt_user" failed:
ERROR: MultiByte strings (MB) must be enabled to use this function

I searched for meaning of this error, and found solution here:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2000-09/msg00489.php

"Recompile your 7.0.2 without --enable-multibyte option."

but in 7.3 configure no such option.
