Mysql version 3.23.55 Slackware linux 8.0 Mysql version 3.23.55 OpenBSD I have tried 3 versions of mysql on linux and on OpenBSD. I have even tried compiling on linux from the source tarball.
Without the GRANT privs to allow network access: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON db.* -> TO user@'192.58.197.0/255.255.255.0'; (example), I would get a "you are not allowed to connect" error. Once I applied the grant to the user: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON db.* -> TO user@'%' the users table shows: | Host | User | --------------------------------------- | % | user | If I coonect to the database without a host, or with host set to localhost, I can connect fine. If I connect from another machine, or just use the DNS name on the local machine, I get: <shell> mysql -h 192.168.1.24 -u test -p ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) I have even tried connecting using the IP address. I have poured over the docs, and have tried all the scenarios of add hostnames to /etc/hosts etc. I even complied from source (glibc problem). No luck at all... Any ideas? I really need network access to the database. -- Steve (egrep) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
