Recently I struggled with access problems with pg_hba.conf.
(see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00829.html )
The solution was simple, but to find the error was pure luck.
Would you kindly either
a) add a note to the pg_hba.conf.sample
b) add to the client-authentication.html
Following statement:
"Please, make sure that your authorization file is located in the
*data* directory, not the toplever postgreSQL installation directory.
That is, the file should be located in data/pga_conf"
In my case, there were two pg_hba.conf files, one at
/usr/share/postgresql/ and other at /usr/share/postgresql/data/
After copying the right one into the data/ dir, all worked ok.
This was real puzzle because I stirred the pgra_hba.conf and
changed it multiple times without success. And I never noticed
that it was in wrong directory.
