That part's OK, but personally I'd only have cited the link once.


Agreed, one or three, including the local-only option but ignoring the host-only one seems like a mistake.

I would just document the -A/--auth-method option, the other two are close enough in space to borrow it just fine.

Shall we do a return link from the pg_hba.conf to initdb? The first paragraph already has:
"A default pg_hba.conf file is installed when the data directory is initialized by initdb."
