If it needs to listen on port 4997 (which isn't the normal port) then  
change this line
       port     = 3604
to
       port     = 4997

But anything else running on the machine that uses mysql won't work.

Why do they want it to listen on all interfaces, is it a remote box.  Have  
you tried it with the standard config, it might "just work"?
