Well, have you checked that you're connecting to the same postmaster you're restarting? After that, I'd ask to see the whole pg_hba.conf and not just the part you think is relevant ;-) FWIW, the log message suggests that the connection is coming across IPv6, so you need to look at the IPv6 entries in pg_hba.conf. regards, tom lane
