That means # TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD host <mydb> <myuser> localhost 255.255.255.255 ident sameuser only <myuser> will NOT be asked for password when it does pg_dump -U <myuser> when logged in to its shell account with <myuser> and If I run a crontab with user <myuser> the above lines again stands true.
