mysql network security

2003-11-06 Thread Andrew Falgout
Does anyone know of a method for encrypting the network traffic to and from a mysql 
database running on Redhat ES 2.1?  At the moment, only perl automation and php web 
pages are accessing the database.

Many Thanks,
./Andrew

Thanks for the quick response.  I've never setup an ipsec before.  I have
been toying with the idea of using cipe to create a PPTP virtual network for
the server to talk on.  But the time to work on this project has not
presented itself as of yet.  I was wondering if there was an interface
within mysql that would allow for encrypted traffic.  The majoroity of my
connection are cron jobs doing automated tasks, an ssh connection feels
icky. (Yes.. a technical term)

 You could tunnel your connections over an ssh tunnel, or setup an ipsec
tunnel.
