No, it doesn't.  That's the local socket, it's not listening on
any network interface. You'd expect something more like this:

netstat -anp|grep postgr
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5432            0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN     5233/postgres

unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     18729

Not quite sure what's going wrong there.  Have you got
more than one version of postgres installed?
