Doug, I am running redhat linux 7.1.
I have tried these commands, and re-read your mails for earlier, and I understand what these commands should be doing, and how the tables work for secuirty. I have done all that I should have done and I am still stuck. I have have made sure the linux box does not have any login - or network restrictions on and all ports are open, no deny/allow rules etc. all fine. I truley am stumpped. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 January 2002 04:39 To: James Montebello; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Gerald Clark; Ho Kam; MySql List Subject: RE: command mysql -u $user without typing it ???? Matt: I don't remember you saying what machine you're running mysql on. Try adding another copy of the same user only @localhost. My win32 installation requires that for a dos box. The hosting service I use doesn't seem to care as it almost seems to ignore the Host column. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO foo@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO foo@"%" IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; Good luck.
