I am having a bit of a problem enabling remote access to postgress on my
7.1 system.

I have added to postgresql.conf

listen_addresses = '*'

and to pg_hba.conf 

host    all         all         XXX.159.77.0/24         trust

XX is a real number, and is the first octect of the network that this
mahcine lives on

Now, it appears that I alos need to add the -i, or -h flag to the
invocation of postgress itslef, but I can't seem to get the rc.conf sysntax
corrcet for that. What should this entry look like?
