I've got a question.

In the otherwise-excellent Paul DuBois book, on page 427 or so it talks
about how you can do this:

GRANT SELECT ON menagerie.* TO ro_user@% IDENTIFIED BY "dirt";

So I tried something similar:

mysql> GRANT SELECT ON *.* TO mysql@% IDENTIFIED BY "dirt";
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '% IDENTIFIED BY
"dirt"' at line 1

Well that sucks!

I also tried %.mydomain.com also and the specific FQDN of a host all with
similar errors.

So what's up with that? The only time it works is when I use mysql@localhost

Thanks,
Chris
