Does mysql have an equivalent to PostgreSQL's tcpip_socket config setting?  
That is, can the server daemon be set to not listen to TCP/IP ports and only 
to a unix domain socket?  This sort of complaint is common with PostgreSQL; 
the canonical answer is to set tcpip_socket=true.  No, I don't use mysql.  
PostgreSQL does everything I need; but the concept is similar.

What does netstat -a --inet say with the FC1/RH9update mysql running?  Diff to 
the RH9 stock?
