try loading it with the option of --bind-address=127.0.0.1 or --skip-networking. i use the --bind-address=127.0.0.1 for secure mysql servers that recieve client connections from stunnel. you can use --skip-networking if you want to ONLY allow mysql connections via the socket file (just tell the mysql client to use 'localhost' and it will use sockets). while i haven't tried it myself without any ethernet interfaces it should work ...... good luck nate
