I might be wrong, but the first thing I always do immmediately after installation is delete any anonymous user. There is really no need for any extra account from security point of view. This also means that one entry f.e [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be enough as the "%" contains any host (including the localhost). Anybody, please correct me if I am talking rubish ;-) Best regards ---------------------- This is what i orignally thought but he manual implies differently: "If we don't add the entry with localhost, the anonymous user entry for localhost that is created by mysql_install_db will take precedence " Therefore you have to also add a localhost ? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
