Well, I haven't seen much traffic in this forum, so I'll try and get things started. Let's talk security issues.
What's your policy on opening a MySQL database inside a firewall?
What's your policy for running a MySQL database on a website?
Let's hear from you guys.

Heyas,
I am not really an MySQL administrative expert, so i always leave the root user untouched (i only set the password).
I create a dedicated user for a certain application and set it up to work from a certain host (i.e. Webserver). The access restriction will be set to a minimum as the application requires (only SELECT's etc).
For development i create a 2nd administrative user restircted to certain source host(s) with full database access.
I would be happy to hear from others (be it their solution or their crticism) :)
regards
/Marc
