Hi Mark You should know that users and passwords are specific to the host where they are being used.
For instance, if your root password on the server is mypass, and use it to connect to the mysql server, then it will get accepted. Now if you use a mysql client on another machine to connect to the server and use the root account with password mypass then it will get rejected. Check out the mysql documentation on the GRANT command. You will see that it includes a hostname Like GRANT ALL on database TO 'user'@'host` IDENTIFIED BY password See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/grant.html Kind regards Andy -- Registered Linux User Number 379093 -- --BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GAT/O/>E$ d-(---)>+ s:(+)>: a--(-)>?
