I suppose you mean that you've been using telnet to access the
server and mysql to access the mysql server. From a security
standpoint, you should probably install sshd, deinstall telnet,
rsh, rexec, etc. and use ssh exclusively to login to your server.
Of course, this is only a tiny piece of an overall security
strategy, and you should invest some time in developing a complete
security solution, if you haven't already.
However, this is now almost completely off-topic.
