I have 8.2 installed on 64bit windows 7.  I have no problem making a local 
connection.  However, when I make changes to pg_hba.conf such as add:

local all all trust

I still cannot connect through a VPN.  On a hunch that my pg server was not 
using the config files in "C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\8.3\data"  I 
changed the port in postgresql.conf to 5433 and restarted the server.  After 
doing this I am still able to connect the server using "psql -h localhost -U 
postgres -d xxx"  I am assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that I shouldn't be able 
to do this.  So now I'm completely stumped.  I've searched my computer and 
can't find any other conf files.  I recently set $PGDATA to "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\" and the same in my $PATH for bin.  I do notice that 
lib is not installed in my $PATH but assume that would not affect my 
connection.  Any ideas?
