Re: pgAdmin problems

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the examples in pg_hba.conf file.
The file contains only these non-commented lines:

local        all                                         trust
host         all         127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255   trust
host         all         0.0.0.0       0.0.0.0           password

When I change password to crypt or ident, then error message in Access
changes accordingly.

When I change the last line to:

host         all        xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  255.255.255.255   trust

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is client's dynamically assigned IP address, I was
able to connect with Access, but pgAdmin still produced the same message
mentioned below in my first message.

Changing the last line to 

host         all        xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  255.255.255.255   password

gives the password authentication error in Access.  In ODBC (on Win98
client side), I have username and password of the user that owns the
database I'm trying to access.  Did I need to mention that the server is
running on OpenBSD?
