This seems to be a local configuration problem? Did this happen from an upgraded cluster?

Confirmed by several duplicates, so I figure this must be a problem with cluster upgrading. Does anyone still have a pg_hba.conf of the older cluster, or can tell me how to reproduce this?

Thanks!

I have an old pg_hba.conf file right here.
