iptables and mysql...

[bruce]

hi...

i'm investigating what needs to be done to allow mysql on a server to be
used remotely by client machines. each machine is running iptables. so i'm
wondering what has to be in the iptables for the machine being used as the
mysql server, as well as the client machines that will be communicating with
the mysql box...

also, how would i test that the iptable/mysql configuration setup is working
properly...

i have rh8.0 and mysql v11.18-dist3.23.54

any pointers/comments/criticisms or actual iptable configs illustrating this
would be extremely helpful!!!

thanks
