If you did not do anything different when accessing the database locally vs. the Internet, then no, it is not secure. The traffic is basically in clear text. Other posts mention ssh (Secure SHell). That is a secure logon to the host where mysql resides and using the command window there. So that is a local connection and no need to encrypt (I would hope). Your interaction with the shell is encrypted. - -- jimoe at sohnen-moe dot com pgp/gpg public key: http://www.keyserver.net/en/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0 OS/2 for non-commercial use Comment: PGP 5.0 for OS/2 Charset: cp850 wj8DBQE/T7vhsxxMki0foKoRAiERAJ9gqttfaV1UMwF700/R6Ayx9VVZeACg5SVq 61Zuy4FtgBIUKjJvxfrDsws= =IHIg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
