We use host aliases to connect to MySQL all the time, never had an issue before. Today we added a new alias, and we cannot connect to the server using that one alias but only when we are on the local machine.
Here is the NIS entry for this host: # ypmatch -k ubshp2 hosts ubshp2 192.132.2.143 ubshp2.predict.com ubshp2 ti-us-dev intradb-au-qa intradb-us-alpha intradb-us-dev ti-test-dr intradb-test-dr I can connect from all these aliases, except intradb-test-dr when I am on ubshp2, e.g.: >From ubshp2 using the intradb-us-dev alias, works: ti-test-dr@ubshp2: mysql -h intradb-us-dev -u tradeinfra -pXXXX intradb_test_dr Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. >From ubshp2 using the intradb-au-qa alias, works: ti-test-dr@ubshp2: mysql -h intradb-au-qa -u tradeinfra -pXXXX intradb_test_dr Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. >From ubshp2 using the intradb-test-dr alias, does not work: ti-test-dr@ubshp2: mysql -h intradb-test-dr -u tradeinfra -pXXXX intradb_test_dr ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'tradeinfra'@'ubshp2.predict.com' (using password: YES) But from a different host using the intradb-test-dr alias, works: ti-test-dr@hades: mysql -h intradb-test-dr -u tradeinfra -pXXXX intradb_test_dr Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Anyone have any ideas as to why this one is not working? I've been messing with this for 2 days. Nothing in the error log. I've dropped and re-added the user, I've bounced the server, I've removed and re-added the alias. I've googled and googled and found nothing. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
