How to be able to use the playback capability in zm4ms with the mandriva 2006 livecd

By default in the mandriva livecd the access to the mysql server is only allowed to local client.
This mean that you cannot connect to your zm mysql server from an other host like your PC running zm4ms.
To solve this 'issue' you just need to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/mysqld and remove the text between the quote for the variable MYSQLD_OPTIONS.
The original line look like this : MYSQLD_OPTIONS="--skip-networking"
And the new will be : MYSQLD_OPTIONS=""
After modifying, save and exit.
To activate this modification you need to restart the mysql server by entering the command 'service mysqld-max restart'
That's it
