IIRC it is a connection option. When the server gets this from a user called "root" and from a specified IP address then it is connected as an admin user. At the moment all the admin user can do is avoid being part of the max-connections limit. When compiling the drizzle.cc generates two binaries, one with a defined constant which enables the admin connect option. > Wouldn't that be just a command line switch to the client instead of a > separate util? Possibly, but that wasn't what was requested when the feature was originally requested. But it was requested for something that no longer exists. So it may not even be useful as a switch. And the extra functionality is also given by the console plugin. So I can't see the advantage of still having it.
