If you want access controls on network-based connections, you'll have to
switch to using one of the other auth methods I mentioned. Probably the
simplest is to use 'md5' and then set passwords for the users who log
into the database.
Unix sockets are only possible if the application (pgbouncer, in your
case) and the database are on the same system. If this is the case, you
may need to set the unix_socket parameter in pgbouncer, and make sure
that you do not have 'host' set in pgbouncer.
