It shouldn't be possible. Without further information, two
possibilities come to my mind:
- The server allows access for the user@host you are connecting with,
so either
+ you use another username as you think you are using
( you can check this with SELECT USER() )
+ the server allows remote connections for that username
( check the ACL's you have installed )
- You use something like ssh-tunneling to connect to your server and
therefore the connection seems to come from the server (the end of
the tunnel).
Bye,
Benjamin.
