Subject: mysql-server: support multiple ip addresses for bind-address

Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2006 16:16:21 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: mysql-server
Version: 4.0.24-10sarge1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: security

Hi,

Unless I'm mistaken, the 'bind-address' setting in my.cnf doesn't appear
to support the listing of multiple addresses.  If someone wants to have
mysqld listen on multiple addresses/interfaces (say, 127.0.0.1 on lo,
192.168.0.252 on eth1, but *not* the public IP bound to eth0), they're
forced to either pick an IP, or have mysqld listen on all addresses.  At
that point, they're required to use iptables rules to block access.  It
would be nice to have bind-address support a list of IP addresses (if it
already does, feel free to document it and close this; I couldn't find
any mention of it, though).

I'm tagging this +security since it's kind of important that people
actually be able to specify which IPs they want mysqld to listen on
(otherwise, why even *bother* with bind-address in the first place?)

Yes, that's true for all versions of MySQL. A bug report with exactly the 
same wish had been opened at bugs.mysql.com in last november.

So except you are able to write a patch, we have to wait for MySQL to
implement it :(
