Re: pg_hba.conf

Is there a line for the pg_hba.conf file that will allow
all connections by remove web browsers?
I tried
host all trust
and
host all 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 trust

Also is this thing sensitive to white space?
How does it decide what variable each value relates to?

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.)
