Subject: port forwarding for mysql

Good SQL clients:
	Mac: http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net
	Windows: http://www.webyog.com

> From a terminal, log in to ix, and start tcp forwarding (change 3602
to the port your mysql instance is running on)
	ssh -L 3306:127.0.0.1:3602 username@ix.cs.uoregon.edu
	This is also possible in Putty. Here is a screenshot:
http://martybugs.net/smoothwall/images/putty2.png. You would enter
Source Port: 3306 and Destination: 127.0.0.1:3602.

	This tells your computer to forward any connections on port 3306 to
ix, on port 3827. It is important to enter 127.0.0.1, NOT localhost.

In the SQL client, use the following settings:
	Host: 127.0.0.1 (NOT localhost)
	User: your cs username
	Password: your password you entered when installing mysql
	Port: 3306
