[debian-mysql] Bug#437870: mysql-server-5.0: Host '10.1.1.105' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL

[Lukasz Szybalski]

Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0.32-7etch1
Severity: normal

Hello,
I have installed mysql currectly. Everything is working on 127.0.0.1.
I am not able to connect from outside.

My ip address is 10.1.1.105
I am able to ping it.
I am able to connect throught it via ssh.
There is no firewall set.
Hosts.allow and hosts.deny are both empty.

Debian.README for mysql-server-5.0 states that server is bound to
127.0.0.1 in my.cnf .
bind-address            = 127.0.0.1
After searching via google i found few people who said that commenting
the line out will work. It didn't.
I have tried to change the ip address to 0.0.0.0 or 10.1.1.105 or
uncomment it completely. Still it fails to connect.
#bind-address            = 10.1.1.105

Then I tried to add 
mysqld: all
to hosts.allow
Still can't connect.

Here is a telnet log . I am trying to connect from the same machine.
debian:/home/admin# telnet 10.1.1.105 3306
Trying 10.1.1.105...
Connected to 10.1.1.105.
Escape character is '^]'.
CHost '10.1.1.105' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL
serverConnection closed by foreign host.

What other setting have I missed? What setting have changed conecrning
allowing access/denying from none 127.0.0.1 since previous relese.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lucas
