Re: Ever heard of anything like this?
We are also using AITCOM and often have problems. They seem to work on their network at noon on Sat. and traceroutes die at their network.They seem to go offline randomly also. We asked for telnet access to administer a Mysql database and can't get it to work. They say our DNS is not configured for reverse lookups.. what the hell our DNS has to do with their telnet I don't know. Their tech support is like M$oft, technically correct but has no relevance to the problem. You would be better served to learn Linux and see Rackspace.com for a dedicated Server you have full access to. Best bet is to find a NOC close to you in Internet space. - 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?

Re: Ever heard of anything like this?
Yes, reverse lookups are a good idea from a static address but AITCOM is marketing reseller stuff to people who use dial-up connections and dynamic IP addresses. DNS does not have inaddr-arpa entries for dynamic addresses. It sounds to me if the passwords are sent in clear text, no Mysql Database is safe across the internet. Is there a way to encrypt these passwords? Even on the local network a sniffer could get a Mysql connection password if sent from any host other than the server console. What should a guy do about this? - 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?
