I am in the process of installing MySQL and PHP on my Mac following
instruction in a book written by a chap called David Powers. I have

Well, some friend of a friend decided to scan me and found
Some of the vulnerabilities have been addressed in recent releases. I
would check the bug list and change log to see if your versions have
been patched. If you want to disallow all tcp/ip connections you can use
the |--skip-networking parameter. Only Unix sockets or Windows named
