If you're running a shell service of any sort, it's possible that a local user could "DoS" the MySQL server, and interrupt service for everyone else. Of course, that user would then be removed, but it's still a hassle. :-) However, I agree that blocking the address is the correct behavior. Does MySQL have a configuration option with which to extempt specific hosts from being ignored? -- bda ... she.never.really.belonged.to.me http://mirrorshades.org
