[debian-mysql] Bug#721487: Bug#721487: mysql-server: standard mysql server installation does not listen on tcp6 protocol

[Bjoern Boschman]

Hi Adrian,

letting mysql-server listen on localhost only is the default debian 
configuration. This was done as a security enhancement.

Unfortunatelly you can only supply a single IP address to bind-address

So there are only:

bind-address = 127.0.0.1 # IPv4 localhost only
bind-address = ::1 # IPv6 localhost only
bind-address = 0.0.0.0 # IPv4 any
bind-address = :: # IPv6 any

but now way to open localhost for IPv4 and IPv6 only.

my vote -> close bug as it is a configuration issue.

Cheers
B
