[nflug] MySQL Administrator

[John Seth]

I've used it in the past and love it (though, now I use phpMyAdmin).  I 
would definitely suggest, that you ensure any database user passwords 
are strong passwords (ie: not "god", "dog", etc, and are more 
"Jc83D at sP0" or some such), and that you change the default port... Also 
make sure all users have passwords and the default root password is 
changed, and the wildcard entries are not there, which generally allow 
anyone to connect from any host... yada yada, etc etc ;)

At my old place of employment we would connect via a VPN connection 
through the firewall, then use it to connect to an internal VPN IP 
address.  Not everyone is able to setup VPN's, especially if it's a home 
router like a Linksys :(
