It may not apply, but is DNS configured correct? Try
connect with ssh and see if it takes a few sec's
before you connect.

Your postgres-info seems fine.

As a sidenote you may want to copy GENERIC to a new
file and compile that one instead. During your next
cvsup GENERIC will be recovered to it's original state
and your changes will be lost.
