[nflug] mysql

[John Seth]

Technically, commenting the port may work, the recommended way is to
uncomment the "skip-networking" option in /etc/my.conf, or start MySQL
with --skip-networking.  This will cause MySQL to only utilize the
socket, thus connecting to "localhost" will be the only way to connect.
