Can someone please explain why I have 3 entries for root or if this is
normal behavior for MySQL? I thought after a installation of MySQL,
you normally have 2:

1 - localhost
2 - host.domain.com

For some reason I had a 3rd entry:

3 - 127.0.0.1

I don't know if I did the right thing but I ran the following command:

update user set host="localhost" where host='127.0.0.1';

This basically changed the 127.0.0.1 entry in mysql databased, host
section to localhost.

I am not sure if MySQL needs to have the 3rd host entry for root that
equals 127.0.0.1 or if it generally should just have the localhost and
fqdn.

Can anyone please clear this up for me?
