Hi mysql list members, We use the following statements to setup users and rigts for a mysql server which is accessible locally and via internet:
INSERT INTO mysql.user VALUES ('%','xyz00',PASSWORD('...'), 'N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N'); INSERT INTO mysql.db VALUES ('%','xyz00_%','xyz00','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y'); The server runs on 66.70.34.150:3307. We can connect via socket locally and via Host:Port remote: remote-system> mysql -h 66.70.34.150 -P 3307 -u xyz00 -p => works local-system> mysql -S /var/run/mysql-ext/mysql.sock -u yxz00 -p => works But we can NOT connect locally by host:port: local-system> mysql -h 66.70.34.150 -O 3307 -u xyz00 -p => ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'xyz00@localhost' (Using password: YES) On a mysqld which is accessible only locally the both INSERT statements above would have "localhost" instead of "%". Why does "localhost" not qualify for "%"? Do we have to double the entries, having separate ones for localhost? It does not make sense, does it?
