problems in connection

hi,

not sure what am missing here. i have 2 database
clusters in a same machine running on different ports.
each have a separate PGDATA dir.

now if you do

[postgres@ base]$ oid2name -p 5433
All databases:
---------------------------------
1 = template1
16975 = template0

-- this is from one of the db cluster running on 5433
port. looks good.

[postgres@ base]$ oid2name
All databases:
---------------------------------
16981 = testdb
1 = template1
16975 = template0

-- this is another db cluster running on 5432 default
port. look good too.

[postgres@ base]$ psql -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
------------+----------+-----------
template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
testdb | postgres | SQL_ASCII
(3 rows)

[postgres@ base]$ psql -l -p 5433
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-----------+----------+-----------
template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
(2 rows)

but when i try to login to the database cluster thats
listening on 5433, i end up with the error.

[postgres@ base]$ psql -p 5433
psql: FATAL: Database "postgres" does not exist in
the system catalog.

any clues as to what am missing here.

thanks,
Shankar.
