UMN with MySQL

[Tobias Maurer]

Hi,

I have set up a UMN Mapserver on Linux that uses shape files. Now some cities on the map shold be marked. In the "Virtual Spatial Data" document I found a description how to connect to a MySQL Database over ODBC system DSN. Points that should be shown are in MySQL DB with xy-data. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to set up a System DSN on Linux without physical access to the server?
Sorry for the post, but I'm a Linux Newbie...

Best regards

Tobias
