>From $ man postmaster -i Allows remote clients to connect via TCP/IP (Internet domain) connections. Without this option, only local connections are accepted. This option is equivalent to setting listen_addresses to * in postgresql.conf or via -h. This option is deprecated since it does not allow access to the full functionality of listen_addresses. It's usually better to set listen_addresses directly. And you will need to set up pg_hba.conf as well, as Renato says. But maybe more restrictive. -- Ian.
