This indicates that when you specified no password, you were being authenticated as the anonymous user in the user table that has a Host value of localhost and a User value of ''. That's a more specific entry than % + bob. Once you change your acount from % + bob to localhost + bob, it matches your connection attempt and then you get connected as bob, not as the anonymous user. > >I don't really understand why but it fixed it...
