Hi

(Re: mysql 3.23.33 )

I have got mysql running fine with the only problem that every connections
made to it through a web browser (using cgi scripts) are considered as
coming from localhost. In this way, I cannot limit the machines that
should be allowed access. I read the manual pages, cleaned up user and
host tables to remove all the default settings but the problem persists.

The name of the server is being picked up from my scripts in the
my ($dbh) = DBI->connect(.....:localhost/machine's name,...)...

All other machines for which permission was granted are being ignored and
granting users permission to connect from localhost/its real name allows
access from any host which is not what I wanted.

Wherever the connection comes from, the log file shows:
  Connect username@localhost dbname
  Query ...

 or

  Connect username@machinename dbname
  Query ...


Any idea??

Thanks

Sam
