pg_hba.conf and Solaris
I didn't like the Solaris bug mention in pg_hba.conf. It seemed like
the wrong place:
+ # Note: On some Solaris systems, an IP-MASK of 255.255.255.255 is known not to work.
+ # The corresponding CIDR-MASK of /32 does work. I have removed it. Should we put something in the docs instead, or add
some code to emit a log message if netmask is used on Solaris? Is
anyone going to use netmask anymore now that the sample has /32?

Put something in the docs instead, if you want. Note that netmask apparently
does work in the general case - it is only this specific netmask that does
not.
If we're going to write code for it, it seems more sensible to make it work
than to emit a warning, either by using inet_aton as previuosly discussed,
or just testing for that exact mask and calling SockAddr_cidr_mask instead
of getaddrinfo_all.
