Because you connect to the MySQL server as anonymous user. From the manual: Note: if you allow anonymous users to connect to the MySQL server, you should also grant privileges to all local users as [EMAIL PROTECTED] because otherwise the anonymous user entry for the local host in the mysql.user table will be used when the user tries to log into the MySQL server from the local machine! > Additionally, I tried to access mysql remotely with an app known to work on > other installations of mysql and got, on the Linux machine running mysqld, > /usr/bin/safe_mysql: line 273: 840 Segmentation fault > ... output omitted > > Number of processes running now: 1 > mysqld process hanging, pid 843 - killed > 030402 09:02:24 mysqld restarted > > Is this distribution any good?
