After installation of MySQL version 3.23.37 on Linux/i386 with the command: rpm -i MySQL-3.23.37-1.i386.rpm two lines of instruction come up, asking to /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h hostxxx -p password 'new-password' the first line works only after the "-p" is omitted, the second line doesn't work, the result is: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'hostxxx' failed error: 'Host 'hostxxx.domainyyy.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server' (here hostxxx and domainyyy represent some other actual names) Could anyone know the answer this problem?
