Hello All, I use eS3.1 as a linux-only server on a home lan with mixed Linux/windoze boxen. I have migrated from Delphi 5 to Kylix and am developing database applications as well as migrating an existing app. However I need to convert my dbf files to mysql. I run this as a sort-of client server app under Delphi, but not a true client-server app. I will need to be able to centrally access/update/manage the database files from the server. How do I set up MySQl so that each Linux box connects at boot up to the server? I have a /public directory for the mixed lan. I need to have "global" access (w/proper users/security) so that each box can run the app seamlessly connected to mysql on the server. Once I get this done, I can figure it out for the windoze boxen. Can anyone give a Step By Step or point me to a site with this or a HowTO? I have read several books/mag articles, but they are just generic local setup and confusing to this newbie. Thanks in advance and regards, Keith B. _______________________________________________ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
