Um, you're allowing the world to see your MySQL server?  I suggest you
disable its networking support... see the PDF manual.  You can still
connect locally, via Unix sockets.  If you NEED to provide MySQL access to
a remote box, you might want to run it on another port or access it only
through an SSH tunnel, by binding it to only the local interface.  Oh, and
I suggest you run SSH instead of telnet and FTP. :) Sorry I didn't answer
your question directly.
