That doesn't make a lot of sense. Even if "remove" is replaced by
"remote", there isn't a web interface to postgres.

That definitely won't work.

This rule only matches if the connecting IP address is 0.0.0.0. You may have
meant to use a mask of 0.0.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.255. Also note that
this is older format that won't work with version 7.3 (and I don't think
it works with 7.2 either).

I think that only spaces and tabs can be used as separators and that multiple
connsecutive spaces and/or tabs will be treated the same as a single space
or tab.

By position. (Though the first keyword determines what other values
are expected.)
