Thread: bad pg_hba.conf file

Hi All,

When I try to connect to the database server I get an error indicating my
pg_hba.conf file is bad.  Here are the only two lines that I have.  Any
comments pointing me in the correct direction  would be appreciated.

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        IP-ADDRESS        IP-MASK           METHOD
local  all      all
host    all         all         192.168.7.0         255.255.255.0   trust

Kind Regards,
Keith

This should really be on a PostgreSQL list, not a pgadmin one, but
seeing as it's a quickie, you appear to be missing the method value on
the 'local all all' entry. You need to specify how matches to that line
will be authenticated - eg. md5, trust etc.
