[LinuxUsers] MySQL security Postscript clarification

[Peter Manis]

If you will only be connecting to mysql locally on the machine you can set
the config value 'skip-networking' and specify the unix socket location.
This will prevent anyone from connecting remotely.  When writing code you
will need to specify the socket in place of the hostname:port.
