Hullo. I can connect to my mysqld running on fedora locally. However, if I telnet to port 3306 from another machine (directly connected via a x-over cable), or port scan that port, it doesn't connect. Looks like "skip-networking" is off in the mysqld config, so I'm guessing it's an iptables configuration issue, but I'm not an iptables guru...yet. Any guidance?

Thanks.

I think I needed this line:
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:mysql state NEW

I'm still running into an error, but at least it's a different error now.

Thanks.
