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

I wonder if you could make a backup of your original users table, then make one of JUST your super user... Then when you go to do your back up you would copy your table with JUST your super user in there and go to work... After you are done with the backup copy your old table back and restart
