ok. Follow what Benoit said and make sure you edit the right file. I had this problem where in FC5 pg_hba.conf are located in three places. One in /usr/share/pgsql second one in /usr/local/pgsql and another one in /var/lib/pgsql/data. When I googled this problem, it turns out that you should edit pg_hba.conf from /usr/share/pgsql or /usr/local/pgsql and execute following command.
<br><br>pg_ctl reload<br><br>This will copy the edited file to /var/lib/pgsql/data directory where the pgsql service reads it from. You should try this first. If this does not work, edit pg_hba.conf from /var/lib/pgsql/data directory. I am not sure if there is any security risk with editing from there. you should edit what Benoit said and leave rest of the settings alone. I think having md5 encryption even on local network is good practice. I hope this works.
