It will help to improve the security of a box immensely, while at the same time the gutsy packaging should be updated to reflect the behavior.
The reason it doesn't work by IP address or name is because MySQL doesn't bind to all addresses by default. It only binds to localhost. The most logical way to work around this problem would be to use the debian-sys-maintainer account, but unfortunately it doesn't have the appropriate permissions necessary to get the database initialized. -- cannot access mysql database https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133458 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
