Mark -
thanks for your input.
I am using RH 6.2
however
charly@theblueplanet[24] cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
Besides, I've added 127.0.0.1 explicitely in the db table
& tried to connect via that IP address
rather than localhost, to no avail.
Incidentally, I am using the mm.mysql-2.0.6.1.jar driver
