By Patrick on September 20, 2005 10:35 AM |

If you're using an ssh tunnel to connect a nice desktop client, like Cocoa MySQL, to a remote server with strict host-based firewall rules that doesn't allow remote connections, you need to have the desktop client connect to 127.0.0.1 and not localhost. I don't know why...maybe it's just me...but one works and one doesn't.

I'm just sayin'.
