[14:27:49] <GothAlice> f00lest: Possibly a http://s.webcore.io/d41m/165595-your-scientists-were-so-preocc-K8Ym.jpeg item. "I want security!" Great! "Except not on anyone who claims to be originating from 127.0.0.1." Wait, so you don't want security?
[14:28:41] <f00lest> I want applications operating on the same server to be able to access the db without authentication
[14:29:08] <GothAlice> Only have it listen to 127.0.0.1 (no outside network connections) and turn off authentication. But then you have no authentication. And the arrangement you are suggesting is terribly insecure and a bad idea.
[14:29:28] <GothAlice> (Packet origins can be forged.)
[14:30:58] <GothAlice> "Bypass authentication because we trust people who say they're 127.0.0.1" is a MySQL-level "good idea". http://grimoire.ca/mysql/choose-something-else
[14:31:50] <f00lest> I do not have any idea about mysql
