Hi Keith, Since you are on the matter, I would also recommend using your firewall to stop unwanted requests to that port. For example, try instead of any, allowing your webserver (in case of webdriven websites) and only servers that need to have access to your database. You don't need anyone trying to play around with your database. :)
