It is noted in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/communication-errors.html:
The server increments the |Aborted_connects| status variable when the following things happen: * A client doesn't have privileges to connect to a database. * A client uses an incorrect password. * .... If these kinds of things happen, it might indicate that someone is trying to break into your server! I see that this event is written to the general log. Is there a way to log such an event to the error log? Amit -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
