Im running mysql on a Freebsd 4.9.. In going through my logs this
morning I saw this error.
I find it odd that mysqd would try to open the /etc/hosts.allow file ..
this makes me think that someone issued the command through mysql
.with that in mind.
 
1. Is there a way to get mysqld to log to a specific file ? 
 
2. Does the below error mean that someone tried to access these files
via mysql commands ?
