This usually means that you have allowed TCP/IP connections in
postgresql.conf, but haven't added a rule allowing remote access in
pg_hba.conf for anything other than localhost.

A sample pg_hba.conf line to allow any host on the network to connect
using MD5 password hashes would be:

host all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 md5

TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
