iptables and mysql...

[bruce]

we disagree on this...

properly configuring/securing the mysql app is both a linux/mysql issue...

it's an issue that would be useful to anyone running a mysql box, who's
interested/needs security...

we're looking for actual iptable examples, for both mysql server box, as
well as client boxes that would talk to the server...

peace..

This is not a mysql question, and please do not cross post.
Any good book un Linux networking will cover this.
Open port 3306.
