[cobalt-users] Accessing Postgresql remotely (TCP)



I have made the modifications in postgresql on my RAQ4 so it can be used for new databases/users.
 
Now I have the problem of setting it up for connection from a different server.  I have looked through all of the information about this issue
 
As instructed, I have added what I believe is the proper line in the pg_hba.conf file .
However, I know this isn't enough.  I understand that I have to restart postgresql with the -i option.  I'm not sure what that means.  The information I've found seems to indicate it should go in the script which starts pgsql.  (I'm a little nervous about testing stuff since I know postgresql runs the GUI)
 
Could someone give me specific instructions about how to do this?
 
By the way, the line I added to pg_hba.conf is the following:
host    mydatabasename  thepgIPnumber  255.255.255.0   crypt
 
Thanks for your help
