i mentioned, monit connects as anonymous user with empty password.
The protocol test however solves the case, where the anonymous user has
no permission to connect to mysql - in such case the access is refused
I have tested it ... it works, maybe you forgot to reload monit with the
new configuration?
Testing output:
1.) i have set the connection limit to 5 in my.cnf using:
--8--
max_connections = 5
--8--
2.) i have started 6 connections as mysql admin to block the additional
connections:
