You might want to add 192.168.0.0/24 on another line rather than
replacing 127.0.0.1.  And allowing "trust" connections is bad
security practice because anybody on one of the allowed IP addresses
could connect as any user without being challenged for a password.
Consider using a stronger authentication method and modifying the
client code accordingly.
