It doesn't make any difference from MySQL's perspective whether you use SSL or SSH. I'd use whichever you're more comfortable with and find suits your needs better. SSH is a little more flexible when it comes to authentication method. SSL is more widely supported in software libraries if you plan on writing a custom client. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
