Re: - what protocol for an Internet postgres

I use SSH all the time to tunnel shell and X-windows traffic.  I think I
remember getting a local psql connection to a remote database going following
the instruction s in section 3.8 of the Adminstrators guide but its been a
little bit.

If no one else response I'll take a wack at it and send in a step-by-step example.

As a note though, generally, I just SSH into the box that has the database and
then run psql from there or open up pgaccess.
