Hi,

As you know already,  pg_hba.conf file always has the below entry after successful installation of postgres.

host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust


Please let me know what is the exact purpose of this entry and what would be the impact of removing it on other tools/processes like pgbouncer, pem, replication etc  ?



Regards,

Atul
