I think you'd want something like 192.168.1.0/24 or 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0 there. When I try something like the above I get
LOG: invalid entry in file "/usr/local/pgsql-8.0/data/pg_hba.conf" at
line 74, token "192.168.0.1/192.168.0.255"
FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
