PG_HBA.conf still keeps complaining. I've done all I could imagine.

Hi,

I've just setup postgreSQL on my Fedora Core1 box. I installed
postgresql from rpm   files.
When I try to connect to the postgresql server in pgmanage, or through
an ODBC from other windows machines I get a message:
"missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file"

I set tcpip_socket = true in var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
I added '-i' optin to etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql as follows
   su -l postgres  -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA  -o '-i '
-p
   /usr/bin/postmaster start > /dev/null 2>&1
Here is my pg_hba.conf:

local     all                trust
host    10.1.9.0    255.255.255.0    trust
host     127.0.0.1    255.255.255.255    trust

Here is my /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
127.0.0.1       TESTBOX     localhost.localdomain   localhost
10.1.9.XX       TESTBOX.localdomain TESTBOX

When I go Systems Settings -> Network in the Hosts tab I see
IP              Name                  Alias
10.1.9.XX       TESTBOX.localdomain   TESTBOX

Where am I going wrong?  I've looked at multiple postings and there is
always something about extra characters and such but I'm using vi
editor on a Fedora machine so it should be fine.
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
THanks in advance.
N.K.

What PG version was this?  Recent versions expect an additional column
(username) in pg_hba.conf.

Thank you! You are right there is one more column. It all works now.
Thanks again.
