[freeside] Postgres setup questions

[ivan]

The ivan-freeside at sisd.com mailing list is for Freeside-specific
discussion. 

http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/index.html has information and
archives for the pgsql-general mailing list.

Hint: Try authentication type "password" and turn on TCP/IP connections.
