To get the same effect as before, use 'all' for the user. I installed PostgreSQL rpm on a fresh installed Redhat 7.3. There is no PostgreSQL 7.1 previously installed so I don't think the pg_hba.conf I was editing is a left-over copy.
Specifically, which part of the configuration: local all trust host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust is wrong and should be fixed accordingly?
