This magic incantation in /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] bind-address = 0.0.0.0 ... makes it possible to connect with mythconverg on xena as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# mysql -u root -h xena mythconverg Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 2 to server version: 5.0.22 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> \q Bye This is the first time the mysql DB has responded as anything except localhost. I think this breaks the problem's back.

I'll be back soon with more really simple questions. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
