Rather than messing with command line switches, just set the flag in
postgresql.conf --- it's "tcpip_socket" there. The init script for
Postgres isn't very helpful about letting you pass command line switches
to the postmaster, but there's really no need to, since you can do
anything you want via postgresql.conf.

Read the docs at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/s...ter-start.html for
instructions on how to start the postmaster with the -i command (note
that your data directory will probably be different). You haven't given
us information on which user you're using to start it, or whether or not
you have modified your postgersql.conf file, but the docs should help
you out. There is also information on how to configure the server so
postgres starts each time the server starts.
