I know that is probably a general MySQL question...but does anyone know off-hand which command or file I can direct my ISP to that will turn off listing and accessing other people's tables and databases. (I know that this has to be done at the root level of the server with sys admin permissions.) (I think that pugdog alluded to problems with virtual servers and database/table access in a Thread somewhere in the forums.)
I realized that through the MySQLMan script, I can see other databases and tables...I can also modify other people's tables and also create new databases (haven't tried deleting other databases and tables, but I betcha I can). I should NOT be able to do this. I do have my database and tables password protected, but if other people install and use MySQLMan, then they can screw up my database and also hack my Links SQL scripts (by viewing the User table and getting password and username info).
If this has been posted before...I apologize. The only related Thread I found was the one posted by Carol (JPDeni).
Thanks in advance. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated! (Yes, I did search the MySQL Manual documents and could not find any info that would assist my ISP with correcting this problem.)
Regards,
Eliot Lee
