Hi Tom,

Excellent. My system network configuration has some problem. Thanks for
your
response.
The issue is now solved and the steps taken
1)uncommented ip and ****t from the postgresql conf file in the data
directory and gave
valid values of 127.0.0.1 and 5432(default)

2)did run ifconfig lo0 localhost.(setting loopback)

Though the network problem still persists(for which i shall take
assistance
from freebsd group), the postgresql server started and i was able to
create
database and connect to the server using psql.

Thanks once again for your response.

Thanks,
Balaji.
