Re: Pg_ctl with postmaster -i option

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.
