Yes, you need to restart pgsql.
the changes you made it does not effect.

but also my suggestion is that to perform any changes in pg_hba.conf or
any pgsql configration file , please stop the postgresql and then make
changes and restart it again.

This is uncessary for pg_hba.conf edits.  Simply call pg_ctl reload to
reread the access list.

No, you do NOT need to restart the postmaster; that is just one of a
number of methods of making these sorts of changes take effect.

Methods include:

1.  Well, yes, restarting the postmaster.

2.  The command "pg_ctl reload"

3.  The command "kill -HUP [process ID of postmaster]"

2 and 3 do the same thing, despite appearing different...
