      Does anyone have a link to a page discussing mySQL and security?

      I would like to ensure that the mySQL server is not accessible from the outside world. (Using terminal server directly into remote server, so no need to connect to mysql db remotely).

      In MySql you can specify users as 'username@host'. Make sure that all users have the hostname set to 'localhost'. You can also block the port used by MySql, allowing connections from localhost only, and if you are so concerned about security, changing the port number of MySql seems to be a good idea, too!
