Re: TCP/IP Security for Remote Access of MySQL DBs...for newbie
Hi Rich, Just so I understand you correctly; 1. Are you trying to use the replication features of MySql for this communication? Or 2. Are you talking on the client side application, like PHP, Java, Perl...? How about encrypting the data itself and skipping the whole channel issue? cheers, Mikel Rich Fortnum wrote: Hi there. I have a need to reach into a remote database and write to their tables from my tables. Or have them reach into my tables and read from mine. Either way, data will travel over the net. I need that data secure and I don't know how I can make that secure. It's not a permissions thing, because that's straight forward...it's the communications I'm worried about. Can anybody comment on how remote security can be established between SQL databases?

IF yes, can you please contact me and tell me about it?

Re: How to make apache webserver on a Linux box connect to a remote mySQLdatabase on a separate Sun box
well for starters you should look into updating your grants table, to allowe the remote server to access the db. Don't forget to properly set the userid, password, and perms for this...Highly encourage to grant this id read only access...but that's your call. Then on the prospective webserver make sure the mysql client is installed and try logging into the db from the clilike this: myslq -h some.host.com -u whoami -pMYPASSWD DBNAME if you get in then you've follow the instructions in the mysql handbook properlyRemember to use mysqladmin to reload the new grants before you try the remote connection...or you'll be left with some rather frustrating troubleshooting and quite probably the jitters from that extra few doses of coffee... cheers, m!

Re: Expect Script accessing MySQL
I'm not up on expect, but I would assume that since you can use sh then you
should ber able to use expect.
Generally speaking in sh you can do the following:
#!/bin/sh
MYSQLCMD=/usr/local/bin./mysql
USER=me'
HOST=some.host.com
PASSWD=whatever
QUERY=SELECT userId FROM thisTable WHERE id=1
RESULT='${MYSQLCMD} -h ${HOST}-u ${USERID} -p${PASSWD} -e ${QUERY} -s
thisDB'
echo ${RESULT}
Let me know if you can get expect to work in sh's place...
Cheers,
m!

It is possible and not very hard at all.
But why would you need expect? Why not
just use a shell script?
Because the task I need the script to do is best done using Expect (its
interfacing with a serial port doing things with some data pulled out of a
database).
A psuedo flow of what it does is -
* Fire off the expect script
* The expect script grabs fields of data from mysql
* The expect script uses that data and interfaces with a device hanging off
a serial port.
* The script ends with the result based on whether the interaction with the
serial device succeeds or not.
Thats why Im wanting to use expect... and thats why I am trying to find a
way to get mysql data into an expect script.

What OS? If Linux or *BSD, they have firewall software (ipchains on linux,

I'm new to MySQL, this may be a simple question;
How do I turn off listen on port 3306?, I don't want to serve MySQL on the
net, I only need it for local
(server side) access.
Can someone point to docs or notes dealing with this issue.

Re: Starting MySQL
Yes stop the old and start the new...on a side note...should have bought DuBios's book...ISBN: 0-7357-0921-1 Found it to be an invaluable source on this sort of stuff. In any event safe_mysqld seems to be default on most sytems...Yes please get you security straight...if the app is colocated on the same server you can get away with localhost, however; if not then you must make an entry for each domain... Cheers, Mikel Carlos Corzo wrote: Hello, I bought MySQL by O'reilly. This thing is just as tough to read as the manual but I am trying and utilizing both. When we installed MySQL on our server, it seems to already be running. I was able to create a database and everything so I assume that it is running. The book says to run mysql in safe mode because it would restart the mysql server automatically if it goes down. Does everyone out there use safe_mysqld when running their servers? Do I need to stop the current server and restart it as safe_mysqld? That is the part I am most confused by, what to do now that I had already started it regularly. If anyone can help, that would be great. Also, if you just create a table as root and do not do anything with security and permissions, would a perl program written on any domain name on that server be allowed to access the database, or do I need to give special permission to that domain name. I am curious if I just give a host, "www.test.com", full access. I just get confused between the host and the user. Is the user just the name being used to log in to host? If so, when someone just executes the perl script from a call from the browser, do I have to specify any specific permissions there. They will not be running the script as the user I specify. I have read about the wildcard "%" option but that seems a little unsafe. Any help would be appreciated. I did my research before asking! Thanks. Isn't there a sample program out there that is simple, and quick that you could create a database and test your interface to make sure that you can start hacking away at some MySQL queries? This book has some and they are huge with no CD. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Apparently I was wrong. You see I am a newbie too and what turned me on to mysql ,linux and the open source movement was the fact that it seems to focus on the power of people and there combined knowledge. I am not stupid and I can read in fact I have look over this manual about 100 times now the last four evenings. I apologize for wasting anyone's time but before I can become a valid contributor to a group dealing with a specific software I first have to be able to get the thing running. I in fact finally got mysql up and running last night but not one word in your manual helped me do it. So in fact all the reading in the world would have left me sitting in the same position. I am sorry to rant and rave but maybe if some seasoned user on this mailing list (not the developers) would help us newbies then we could all work together to.

Also I wanted to ask everyone who gets revenue from MySQL still buy support contract. While MySQL is free to users there are people behind it who eat, buy books, pay for internet connection get hardware and buy icecream to kids. This is not about home users. There are companies on NASDAQ who use heavily different open source software for their success and have never paid a penny. For that money you get guaranteed answers.
