Either you didn't tell the postmaster to listen for TCP connections
(-i commandline switch or whatever the postgresql.conf item is); or
you did, but the kernel is set up to filter traffic to port 5432.
The reason you could do the other things is that by default psql
connects via a Unix-domain socket, not TCP. It sounds like Rekall
only knows about TCP connections.
