Having just installed mysql on my server, I've found that I have to set bind-address = 0.0.0.0 in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to enable me to connect to mysqld over the local network: leaving it at the default 127.0.0.1 causes connection requests to be rejected.
Is there a more secure value for this parameter? I want to be able to connect over either of two network segments, 192.168.2.0/29 and 192.168.3.0/29, as well as locally on the server box. I've tried a compound setting in bind-address, but mysqld then refuses to start. 0.0.0.0 is the only setting I've found so far that lets me in. -- Rgds Peter -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
