-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Nicholas,
my mysql.user table still includes 'user'@'%' records. - From 8.9.8 I can read the following: "To disable DNS host name lookups, start the server with the - --skip-name-resolve option." This in my ears sound like: disable any gethostbyaddr/gethostbyname requests no matter what. But it still uses these system calls (what can be seen in tcpdump or similar) Any wildcard name based GRANTS (e.g. 'user'@'%.foo.com') are no longer supposed to work, but IP wildcard GRANTS (e.g. 'user'@'192.168.0.%') must still work.
