Yes, I understand the error message. What confused me was if I connected as 'myusername' directly on server2, there was not any problem at all as what was shown in the following in my original post. So in another word, 'myusername'@'localhost' was denied access if connecting via port forwarding, but it's allowed access if connecting from localhost. Hence my question, if port forwarded connections are really taken as local connections??? >>But on server2, the following command works fine. >> >>server2% mysql -h localhost -u myusername -p >> >>I'd appreciate if anybody would shed some light. >> >>Bing >> Bing -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
