The likely explanations are that (1) some earlier line in pg_hba.conf is capturing the connection, (2) you are looking at the wrong copy of pg_hba.conf, (3) you edited pg_hba.conf but forgot to SIGHUP the postmaster, (4) you have a ~/.pgpass file on the client side that is silently supplying a password in some of these cases. regards, tom lane
