[debian-mysql] Bug#572202: mysql-server-5.1: examples/ in mysql-server's docs don't include a bind-address line for mysqld

[v.nix.is]

Package: mysql-server-5.1
Version: 5.1.41-3
Severity: minor


The default Debian security policy for MySQL is to set `bind-address =
127.0.0.1` for mysqld. However the examples in
/usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.1/examples do not include this line.

Thus if a server administrator experiments with optimizing MySQL by
using these config files as-is it's easy to turn what was previously a
loopback-only mysqld setup into a setup where the server listens on a
public IP address.
