Hi, After I installed mysql, I noticed there is an open port now, port 3306. Can I restrict this so only from localhost can connect? I meant to close port 3306. But without using firewall :( I dont have knowledge about this.
If there is no way to do this without firewall, then I will learn it. I tried --skip-networking, but then mysqld could not be started. I got this from google.com. Is it the correct way? Thanks. kapot __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
