This is the complete pg_hba contents

local   all         all                               trust
# IPv4 local connections:

# IPv6 local connections:

ps ax | grep INSERT  shows a few processes from client machines not in
pg_hba.conf

The processes that do INSERTS keep appearing from other clients not in
pg_hba.conf

There is only 1 postmaster running

The connections that keep appearing are from jdbc clients.

Sounds to me like a mistake in your pg_hba file, ie, there is still
a line that allows them to connect.  We've also heard of people editing
the wrong copy of pg_hba.conf, or sighup'ing the wrong postmaster ...
