Hi,

Is the last statement correct? When I specified the following setting
in pg_hba.conf, I could not find any problem in PostgreSQL.
host all all 192.168.1.99/24 trust
As far as I read the code, those bits seem not to need to be zero.
Attached patch just removes that statement.
Regards,

There must not be any white space between the IP address, the
