Hang on...remember that postgres is client/server. You need to run the server
for postgres on Cygwin, don't you? You would only need a client connect to
the server from windows, and there is at least one postgres client that runs
on Windows...Now, you also have to configure your /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf
(or whatever the config file is called on your distro) to allow for a user to
connect from a non-local machine...which I believe the windows part would be
considered vs the cygwin side. (If I'm getting this part right -> that's how
it works with Mac-On-Linux anyway)
Part II postmaster is the server, and you don't log on to that. You only log
on using the client. You really shouldn't any direct interaction with the
postmaster. This is analagous to the shell and the kernel: you don't interact
with the kernel directly, you deal with the shell, which interacts with the
kernel. The postmaster should be started at startup, and then left alone...
