Maybe so, but as I said earlier if you are in permissive, then blaming
any of these issues on selinux is wrong -- selinux does no enforcement
in permissive.

No, not if your connection string is
'dbname=yrarc host=192.168.1.6 port=5432 user=xxxx password=xxxxxx'
as you said it was. In this case you must have one of the two pg_hba
lines above or something more broad. With that connection string you are
not connecting to localhost, you are connecting to 192.168.1.6 and there
MUST be a pg_hba line to support it.

Trust has nothing whatsoever to do with the problems you have shown us
so far.

Here is the error message you said came from the box running PHP:

Now, if your workstation is 192.168.1.10, then I can only conclude that
you are running PHP on your workstation and *not* on the box with
Postgres which you say uses 192.168.1.6 and 192.168.1.7.
