(I forgot to mention in my original message that I *had* commented out the skip-networking directive in /etc/mysql/my.cnf; the directive would have resulted in in the connection being refused; the problem here was that the connection was immediately and silently closed.)

Nothing's written in the log files. Several of the newer daemons, including mysqld, are able to use the libwrap library and check the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. Some operating systems, including Debian, have mysql compiled with that option enabled. If it follows from hosts.allow and hosts.deny that mysql should deny, it behaves as described above. Normally what needs to be done is add a line like the following in hosts.allow, and restart the server. mysqld: [allowed hosts/networks here]: ALLOW --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
