RE: using ssh for network authentication

The thing I usually do for this kind of protection is setup the machine's firewall, under Linux (just a matter of a new ipchains/ipfwadm small set of rules). I would also change Postrgres's pg_hba.conf file. It might be easy to deny all direct access to Postgres port 5432 using it.

OK, I saw in the admin guide about how to do port redirection using
ssh. I even got it working. My question now is how to prevent any
network connections to my server via port 5432 and make sure they all
come through my sshd.
