postgresql dblink not working in FC5

[Manish Gupta]

Recently, I upgraded one of my servers to FC5 from FC4. This upgrade also 
upgraded postgresql to 8.1.3. The upgrade was flawless. Unfortunately, I 
cannot get dblink to work in postgresql. I created two fresh databases and 
tried... still no luck. I keep getting the following error:

bulbulbo=# select dblink_connect('hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=bulbulfo 
user=bulbul password=password');
ERROR:  could not establish connection
DETAIL:  could not connect to server: Permission denied
        Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

My pg_hba.conf is as follows:
----------------------
local   all         all                               ident sameuser
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          password
host    all         all         192.168.0.0/24        password
host    all         all         10.1.2.0/24           password

# IPv6 local connections:
host    all         all         ::1/128               sameuser
--------------------

The error seems to be like client authentication error. I researched and 
found that the message "could not establish connection" seems to defined in 
dblink.c, and it gets triggred when it is unable to create connection to the 
database. I though this may be happening because libpq is not working 
properly. So, I compiled a simple program, written in C, that uses libpq and 
it seems to work fine.

I have kind of hit the roadblock. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
