How do I secure port 3306 mysql. I noticed it running after I installed mysql.





-Danny






 
Port 3306 is used for network connection to the MySQL database. If you want to only have MySQL allow local requests you can either edit the MySQL options file or use the mysqld command line options.

Starting the server with :
mysqld --skip-networking
Will turn off the network functionality.
