Justin wins the case of champagne (virtual for the time being)

The secret is there - where the jdbc .jar file goes.

Does not work, must be "host db_name IP user ident"

Maybe this has something to do with java security???

Had to connect via ftp (thus tcp/ip) to get it to work. Had to set up
ftp just right because Ultradev wants to write over the connection files
as it uses them.

Please bear with me on this one people: I'll try to write up a sort of
HOWTO to document for this. But it has taken me a week full time so far
and I have to get back to looking after my clients.

For now the secret was a clean install of _everything_ on a developpment
server. Everything meaning RedHat 7.0 on down to the Apache module...

I think that we should maybe get this info out to Macromedia to
supplement the MySQL stuff that is already in Ultradev.
