addresses.

# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access. Records take one of three forms:
# databases they can access. Records take one of five forms:
#
# local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTION]
# host DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD [OPTION]
# hostssl DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD [OPTION]
# host DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD [OPTION]
# hostssl DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD [OPTION]
# host DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS/CIDR-MASK METHOD [OPTION]
# hostssl DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS/CIDR-MASK METHOD [OPTION]
#
# (The uppercase quantities should be replaced by actual values.)
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samegroup", a database name (or
# a comma-separated list thereof), or a file name prefixed with "@".
# USER can be "all", an actual user name or a group name prefixed with
# "+" or a list containing either. IP-ADDRESS and IP-MASK specify the
# set of hosts the record matches. METHOD can be "trust", "reject",
# set of hosts the record matches. CIDR-MASK is an integer between 0
# and 32 (IPv6) or 128(IPv6) inclusive, that specifies the number of
# significant bits in the mask, so an IPv4 CIDR-MASK of 8 is equivalent
# to an IP-MASK of 255.0.0.0, and an IPv6 CIDR-MASK of 64 is equivalent
# to an IP-MASK of ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::. METHOD can be "trust", "reject",
# "md5", "crypt", "password", "krb4", "krb5", "ident", or "pam". Note
# that "password" uses clear-text passwords; "md5" is preferred for
# encrypted passwords. OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM
