Hi Keith, Since you are on the matter, I would also recommend using your firewall to stop unwanted requests to that port. For example, try instead of any, allowing your webserver (in case of webdriven websites) and only servers that need to have access to your database. You don't need anyone trying to play around with your database. :) Cheers Ricardo On Thursday 06 March 2003 07:30 pm, keith@smmc.qld.edu.au wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: <keith@smmc.qld.edu.au> > > To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > > Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 7:12 PM > > > > > >> Hi all, > >> I have "Found" a rule in my ipf firewall rules file. > >> it allows in my agetway machine running webmin > >>etc etc. to port 3306 from > any. > >> > >> Now I may well have added this rule but I didn't > >>comment it (Not like me!)
