Hi Paul,
This worked very well. Perhaps, you can help me with another question:
If I write an aaa bbb ccc of 200.200.200.0, do all clientes with IP
addresses between 0.0.0.0 and 200.200.200.0 can connect?

Thanks in advance for your response

Hi Forum,
What line should I enter in pg_hba.conf in order to allow all users
with subnet-mask starting at 255.255.255.0 into database "test"?
Should it
be:
Host test all 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 trust

I think you would need something like

Host test all aaa.bbb.ccc.0 255.255.255.0 trust

where aaa is between 1 and 254 and bbb and ccc are between 0 and 254
(for
example 10.0.7.0 or 192.168.3.0)

No. The client ips would have to be in the range 200.200.200.1 to
200.200.200.254. The rules for sub-nets and sub-net masks can be a bit
confusing and I've yet to find a tutorial on-line which is easy to follow.
It might help you to think of 200.200.200.0 as 200.200.200.*.

Thanks again for your help. I think that the picture is getting clearer
in my mind.
