A system administration applied an invalid line into the pg_hba.conf
file and called "service postgresql reload". Since that command doesn't
return any error and leaves with exit code 0 it seams that new
configuration was applied.
Of course postgresql added a warning to the log file: "pg_hba.conf not
reloaded".
But even when I execute SELECT pg_reload_conf(), true is returned.
Is this the desired behavior?
Best regards.
