Unless you had previously done a specific GRANT CONNECT TO hs,
the above command doesn't do a darn thing.  The privilege that
actually exists by default is a grant of connect to PUBLIC.
What you need to do is REVOKE FROM PUBLIC, and then GRANT to
whichever users/groups you want to allow to connect.
