    The problem turned out to be two copies of pg_hba. One in
    "/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf" the other in
    "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf"
    "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf" is in the Root Directory of postgres on my
    system so that's the one the system was using. I thought the system was
    using the other one: "/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf", the only one I knew
    about.
    Thank you for helping me figure it out,
    Jerome
