The tool doesn't read the current setting. It just defaults to high when you start the tool. But if you set it to none, that should be okay....I guess. But I think you can simply turn off/on iptables with the 'service' command too, without changing any of the specific filters. When I do, "chkconfig --list | grep ^ip" I get, ==> ip6tables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ==> ipchains 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ==> iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off I think you can just toggle these on or off with, "service iptables off" without messing with the actual rules. If after turning it off, it works, then you'll have to figure out the specific rules. But lets assume the firewall is ok (since that is your thought.) You did do the MySQL GRANTS correctly for the USER/HOST that you are trying to come in on. You realize there is a "pairing" thing going on there, right? Another question........are you able to connect as a user, other than root or the default MySQL login, to the database? ie Create a MySQL user, give him a passwd, and login from the localhost. (Be sure to do it from localhost so we can narrow that part down.) How are you trying to login? >From another Linux box on the LAN with something like, mysql -ujoe_user -h192.168.1.10 -p -- Jay Crews jpc@jaycrews.com -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
