Users are a combination of login AND a "host" specifier. When you do SELECT * from user where user = 'user1'; a) how many entries are there b) what is in the host column for those entries. For example if the host column shows "fizzle.shizzle.com" then you have to use SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user1'@'fizzle.shizzle.com'; HTH!
