[debian-mysql] Bug#664846: skip name resolving

Hi Nicholas,

my mysql.user table still includes 'user'@'%' records.

- From 8.9.8 I can read the following:

"To disable DNS host name lookups, start the server with the
- --skip-name-resolve option."

This in my ears sound like: disable any gethostbyaddr/gethostbyname
requests no matter what. But it still uses these system calls (what
can be seen in tcpdump or similar)

Any wildcard name based GRANTS (e.g. 'user'@'%.foo.com') are no longer
supposed to work, but IP wildcard GRANTS (e.g. 'user'@'192.168.0.%')
must still work.

Cheers
B
