Dude, if you're going to be asking for a lot of help here's somethings
you should know:

1) Use proper capitalization and punctuation like an adult. You'll get
more replies if your message looks more professional.

2) Trim and don't top post. When replying, you should trim the original
message so that there's just enough context to understand the reply.
Don't leave the entire message. The point is to make it possible to for
the reader to understand your message quickly, not to keep a log of the
entire conversation.

Plug is not Facebook, don't write like it. Plug is not a corporation,
forget half of what you learned about business communication. (Don't
forget the importance of clarity, just forget the top posting and Cc:
abuse.) This is ancient hacker culture and if you ignore their culture
the most experienced members of the list will ignore you.

3) Be sure to indicate what work you've already done to research the
question on your own. This is especially important when asking a large
number of questions in a short amount of time. We're not free
consultants. If you try to abuse our kindness, we will very quickly
start to resent and ignore you.

If you had bothered to google "pg_hba.conf" (the clue that Scott gave
you), the first result is the link he sent you after your request for
more information.

Which, by the way, is why I'm going to start ignoring you until you
change your behavior.
