I'm running PostgreSQL 8.1.3. In my postgresql.conf, the following
works:
listen_addresses = '*'

but the following does not:
listen_addresses = '192.168.1.33'

I get an error:
WARNING: could not create listen socket for "192.168.1.33"
FATAL: could not create any TCP/IP sockets

I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.6 on PPC, if that makes a difference.

For now, listen_addresses = '*' works for me, but I was curious why I
couldn't use the more restrictive listen_addresses.
