Confirmed with 2.0.1 under HPUX 10.20 and NetBSD 1.3 If I keep repeatedly opening telnet sessions, it will make msqladmin hang, although once a telnet session times out, then it will carry on as normal.

I'll pass it on to the author (who doesn't appear to be doing much these days so I doubt there will be a speedy fix) Regards Nigel > It seems that if one wants to bring a website that relies heavily on mSQL or > MySQL to it's knees, simply telnet to the port the server listens on (1112 > for mSQL or 3333 for MySQL) and then just sit there, forget about it. > > Nothing on the server will be able to query any of the databases.
