Would you mind posting the refdbd log (beware of plain-text passwords
though)? This should tell us what database refdbd tries to open and
which username/password combo it uses. You should also have a look at
the pgsql log (usually /var/log/pgsql) to see whether postmaster
refuses the connection or whether refdbd can't find it. In that case
you'll have to review the settings in refdbdrc or your command line
options, especially the stuff that sets the database engine, the port,
and the IP address of the database server.

hope this helps
