Unsure if it will help, but try:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

rubbish text I typed.

But instead try 'birch' or the IP address and see what
you get. But the pg_hba file looks fine as you've got it
I think. Maybe a red herring but check whether there's any
firewalling set up on the server that stops you from connecting.

Here's the tail end of the file /var/lib/pgsql/pg_hba.conf.  I've restarted
twice since setting this info, using /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql restart.
Then I tried a stop and a start just for good measure.  The machines I'm
trying to connect from are both 192.168.2.x.  Did I get this right?

# By default, allow anything over UNIX domain sockets and localhost.

local        all                                         trust
host         all         127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255   trust
host         all         192.168.2.0   255.255.255.0     trust
------------------

Thanks for your help.
