Its an internal only box (no outside connections), so no iptables.

Box is running Slackware 64:

# uname -a
Linux mapper 2.6.32.7 #1 SMP Fri Jan 29 21:04:54 CST 2010 x86_64 AMD
Athlon(tm) II X2 245 Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I dont have PGPORT env set, or any env starting with PG*  (not sure what
other env var's to check for).

I do have a .pgpass in ~, but no entries for this box, only to remote box.

no other .pg* files.

I did notice when I tried to backup my 8.4 db using the 9.0 pg_dump I
got errors:

$  ~/gis/postgresql-9.0beta1/src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump -Fc -f gis.bak gis
/home/andy/gis/postgresql-9.0beta1/src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump: symbol
lookup error:
/home/andy/gis/postgresql-9.0beta1/src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump: undefined
symbol: PQconnectdbParams


Was not sure if that was a problem (maybe 'make check' was finding 8.4
.so's or something...).
