This doesn't work. If I grant all on *.* to ''@workstation.domain.local Then, I find a record in mysql.user with host=workstation.domain.local, user is blank, password is blank. If I then connect to the server from my workstation using the MySQL query browser and leave the user id and password blank, it connects and works. After much horsing around, I can make it work as: mysql --user=anything --host=host -p (Press enter at the password prompt) Silly me, I thought I had to somehow supply a blank value for the user name. Instead, I have to simply supply an empty password. Thanks for your help!
