Paul,

Did you try:
host all all 10.6.0.0/16 md5

?

I believe you must list all 4 octets of the subnet.  It says this in the docs:

The mask length indicates the number of high-order bits of the client IP
address that must match. Bits to the right of this must be zero in the given
IP address.

Which tells me the 0s have to be there.
