I had a similar problem: older versions of Postgres have IP addressing in
one column and subnetting/mask in the next one. 8.4 uses CIDR expression in
one column - applying CIDR notation solved my problem. I think it's
advisable to manually correct the pg_hba.conf file instead of replacing it
with the old configuration file from the older version of Postgres.
Cheers, Pete

I am putting up a new server on version 8.4.3. I copied pg_hba.conf
from a running 8.3.6 system, changing only the public IP address for the
local machine.
I get the error:
FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "209.159.145.248", user "postgres",
database "arc"
pg_hba.conf contains the line:
host all all 209.159.145.248 255.255.255.255
trust
Hmm, just for giggles, does it work using CIDR syntax:
host all all 209.159.145.248/32 trust
?

Other records work (I can connect from my remote site using pgAdmin,
just fine), so I know the file is being read by posgres.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
