Eric,

Thanks for the advise.

I was not reporting a bug. This is a live installation of a database I have to get working. I was hoping somebody may give me some compilation options to make MySQL understand IP addresses. Or something.

I cannot upgrade the database as this is our production level and changing up would require months of testing.

In time when I do, I can tell you if this may be a bug candidate.

So, if there is anybody why MySQL thinks all IP addresses are seen my MySQL as 0.0.0.0, I would very much like to know.

I note that netstat and other IP reporting programs have no problem.

Regards,

Ben Clewett.

Dear MySQL,

My MySQL 4.1.9 has lost the ability to work out what IP address clients are connecting from. Eg:


$ mysqladmin  processlist
+----+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+------------------+ | Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info | +----+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+------------------+
| 5  | test | 0.0.0.0:55049 | test | Sleep   | 10   |       |        |
| 6 | root | localhost | | Query | 0 | | show processlist | +----+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+------------------+


This is annoying as I can't authenticate users based on their IP address.

I suspect this may be a clash between IPv6 and IPv4. It happened after a patch was applied to the AIX operating system and MySQL recompiled.

Would any members have experience or ideas of how this problem may be resolved?

Regards,

Ben
