New MySQL related HowTo available

I just found this new HowTo at www.howtoforge.org:

http://www.howtoforge.org/secure_mysql_connection_ssh_tunnel

It describes how to set up a secure tunnel between your MySQL Server and a locally running MySQL Administrator using Putty. I haven't tried it out myself, but I strongly assume that this works for all the other GUI tools as well.

Nice tutorial, but as far external tools are concerned I prefer Stunnel and I still think that a self contained solution is even better (MySQL does support secure encrypted connections without external tools and certificate based auth too).
