MySQL Workbench is a cross-platform, visual database design tool developed
by MySQL.  It is the highly anticipated successor application of the
DBDesigner4 project.  MySQL Workbench is available as a native GUI tool
on Windows, Linux and OS X in different editions.

MySQL Workbench provides DBAs and developers an integrated tools
environment for:
* Database Design & Modeling
* SQL Development (replacing MySQL Query Browser)
* Database Administration (replacing MySQL Administrator)

You need to allow MySQL to accept incoming connections from outside:
Remove or comment this line:  SKIP="--skip-networking"  and then do:
/etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld restart
