Actually there is a slightly better way to add a user. Read the following entry in the mysql docs: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GRANT.html In fact you might want to read this whole section: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/User_Account_Management.html
Example: grant select, insert on *.* to joeuser@localhost identified by "some_password"; This command does a bunch of other things like add permissions to the db table and encrypt the password in the user table. Sometimes it is faster to hack the user and db tables directly, but it is still not a good practice. I hope this helps.
