with that you should never end up with blocked hosts though, a host only gets blocked when terminating before the initial handshake is complete, e.g. by connecting to port 3306 and then immediately disconnecting again without sending any data. Hosts do not get blocked for e.g. repeatedly providing the wrong password, as for that the initial handshake gets completed. Completed with an "access denied" error, but completed nonetheless. Main problem here though is that you seem to want to provide as little information as possible only, so this turned into a big guessing game. And with that I'm out, I don't want to waste unpaid time on doing educated guesses with information only being reviled bit by bit instead of describing the full scope of the problem up front. -- Hartmut Holzgraefe, Principal Support Engineer (EMEA) MariaDB Corporation | http://www.mariadb.com/
