Allowing user to connect to a database?

Hi Forum,
What line should I enter in pg_hba.conf in order to allow all users with subnet-mask starting at 255.255.255.0 into database "test"?  Should it be:

Host test all 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 trust

Thanks in advance for your response

I think you would need something like

   Host test all aaa.bbb.ccc.0 255.255.255.0 trust

where aaa is between 1 and 254 and bbb and ccc are between 0 and 254 (for
example 10.0.7.0 or 192.168.3.0)
