The default:
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust
and:
host all somerole 192.168.1.0/24 md5
the local unix and local tcp lines aren't catching the connection - if
I remove my added connection, all external connections fail, as
expected. And I tried reording it so my addition is first, but a
bonjour connection is still trusted.
I realize that bonjour just supplies IP info to the client. I too
find it strange that the server would see the connection differently.
