No, it wouldn't.

Let's say you want to enable 192.168.0.x, for example (x is anything in 0..255):

all   all  192.168.0.0  255.255.255.0  trust

Note: "trust" for a network is a *really* *really* *really* bad idea, since it does not demand a password from any user, and anyone can just claim to be "postgres" (the database superuser), and the server will just "trust" that they are indeed who they claim to be. You should *at least* use "password", or even better use "md5"...

all  all  192.168.0.0  255.255.255.0  md5


Note about Subnet Masks: when comparing two given IP addresses to determine if an incoming connection is part of the specified subnet, so to speak, both addresses are bitwise ANDed with the subnet mask, and the result must match.


So if you really trust the entire world of hackers and virus-writers with complete and unrestricted access to your database server:

all  all  0.0.0.0  0.0.0.0  trust


will probably work.

Thanks, it works with the addition of 255.255.255.255 . My question now if I
want to enable a range of ip's how do I do that instead of putting a whole
lot of lines , like writing
All all 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 trust
or leaving it blank
All all 255.255.255.255 trust
would work?

Hi all I'm trying to connect to  my postgres 8.0

This is a copy from the pg_hpa.con file


# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         all

Thanks a mill.
Ps I reinstalled postgres clean.
Thanks , Hershel


Hi Hershel,

I think you forgot to add the subnet-mask at the end
of that IP-address 192.168.1.101 -- I think that ought
to be /24 but I'm not good with this sort of
calculations. However, there are calculators on the
internet.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
