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?

Thanks
        Michael
