Hello,
I downloaded and installed the binary version about 2 months ago, and
finally got into using mysql last week.

All is well, and I am using the command line interface. I have one issue
though, and I cannot seem to find the docs on this, or perhaps I am
overlooking them. It has to deal with the users.

The install is located on my machine, but I am going to use dbi and connect
remotely. It appears that I can login to the mysql (command line) with about
any name and password

eg.
mysql -u spurcell -ppperl5
and it takes it, and I can do command line things, but when I connect with
dbi, it does not like spurcell pperl5 for a username and password. It says
permission denied.

I would like to know how to add users and grant them access to different
DB's. And also, find out who is in the system, what is the root password,
etc. Just get a solid understanding of what I have currently in front of me.

Thank you for your time,

Scott Purcell
