Im running mysql on a Freebsd 4.9.. In going through my logs this
morning I saw this error.
I find it odd that mysqd would try to open the /etc/hosts.allow file ..
this makes me think that someone issued the command through mysql
..with that in mind.

1. Is there a way to get mysqld to log to a specific file ?

2. Does the below error mean that someone tried to access these files
via mysql commands ?




Feb 25 13:44:14 xxx mysqld[175]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 59:
cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: Permission denied
Feb 25 13:44:14 xxx mysqld[175]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 59:
cannot open /etc/hosts.deny: Permission denied

That is possible.

But this list is dedicated to the repeatable test case, and yours is
not.

RE: wierd error message from mysqld

Ok....is there a questions mailing list that Mysql.com offers ??? Most
other vendors of Open source software have some sort of mailing list
that allows people to ask questions

Thank you

Yes. Run 'mysqld --help' and search for option starting from --log

No.
You probably are using MySQL as compiled from FreeBSD port collection -
and it also means that it is compiled with libwrap support
(try 'ldd mysqld' to know it for certain).

More information at

man 8 tcpd
man 5 hosts_access
