Thread: Minor update on pg_hba documentation

Hi,

I wonder if there is an extra word that should be suppressed on the PG 16 client-auth.sgml file.

In the example for the regex on database name, the TYPE is "local" and contains the word "localhost" for ADDRESS. Shouldn't it be omitted ?

Best regards,

My fault on this one.  My intention was likely to use "host".  I'll go
fix it this way.  Nice catch.

On top of using David's suggestion, I have also tweaked the format of
this HBA entry to make it aligned with the rest.
