Hi Rik, > Hm, is the mysql-client library the same as the mysql-server? Yes.

This is really strange - with -h127.0.0.1 I get the same error: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'someone'@'localhost' (using password: YES) However with -h192.168.1.102 everything works as expected, although I used 'someone'@'%' everywhere. Does '%' not include local connections / unix domain sockets? Thanks, Clemens -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
