I installed PostgreSQL rpm on a fresh installed Redhat 7.3. There is no
PostgreSQL 7.1 previously installed so I don't think the pg_hba.conf I was
editing is a left-over copy.

Specifically, which part of the configuration:

local   all                                             trust
host    all     127.0.0.1       255.255.255.255         trust

is wrong and should be fixed accordingly?

Thanks
