the first local all all takes precedence as that matches any local
(domain socket) connections. as is, you're saying any process running
your server can connect to any database as any user with no
authorization required.
however, none of those lines affect localhost IP connections, those
instead would match a `host .... 127.0.0.1/32 ....`
I most typically use the following...
local all all ident sameuser # allow local domain connections to
authenticate only as themselves
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # allow localhost IP connections to
authenticate with passwords only
and sometimes...
host all all my.ip.sub.net/24 md5 # allow any user on my IP subnet to
authneticate with passwords
