Dear all,
Is there a way to start mysqld in a way, that say only a superuser can connect. I would need this e.g. for restoring a backup, because I do not want users to connect to the server while I restore the binary log. I already check the options for mysqld but could not find anything (except changing the port and using this port for backup, hoping noone connects to the new port or to switch off tcp/ip at all and only connect through unix sockets). Thanx for any hint!!! Cheers /rudy
