You may want to close it at your firewall, if you want to allow the server to be used only by machines on the local side of the firewall. That will prevent anyone of the non-local side from connecting to the server and possibly gaining access to your databases. > >Anderson Pereira Ataides --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
