Alan,

Oops! Copied tail of wrong file. It's not at the end of
/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf. That has:

# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust

That's what it is: trust.
