Hi I simply want to restrict the IPs that the MySql daemon listens on. In this case I want it to listen only on localhost not the public IPs. The issues is I have a jailed virtual machine also with MySql and these two daemons are clobbering each-other upon startup because they both try to grab the same IP. A firewall won't help this is a kernel issue opening a socket. BTW the os is FreeBSD 5.4
