Hmm, something odd there, because a port number mismatch should have
resulted in psql failing to connect via unix socket either. Maybe
you have more than one active postmaster?

Anyway, given these settings, "psql -p 5433 -h localhost" should
connect. If you still get "connection refused" then you need to
look at the kernel firewall (packet filter) settings.
