Do you need everybody on your lan to access the database, or everybody on the internet? I guess you mean everybody on the internet... and probably they will access it through some kind of user interface... a .php or perl script, perhaps? If this is the case: connect with the same mysql-user for all actual users... you could create a mysql user called 'wwwguest' or similar, and GRANT privileges as described in the manual: <URL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/G/R/GRANT.html >.
