I'm running replication on two servers using mysql version 3.23.37 I'm trying to rename or ignore replication of the mysql database, but nothing seems to prevent the grant command on the master causing replication to the slaves mysql.user table. I've tried all of the following on the slave replicate-wild-ignore-table = mysql.% replicate-ignore-db = mysql replicate-ignore-table = mysql.user replicate-ignore-table = mysql.db etc. replicate-rewrite-db=mysql->mysql_master and even the following on the master binlog-ignore-db=mysql but none of them prevent updates of the slave's mysql.% tables I have managed to ignore other tables with success. Is there any way round this? PS. I've been restarting both the master and slave mysqld in between changes to /etc/mysql/my.cnf -- Ann Rautenbach DataCash Ltd. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
