Hi, I've got a MYSQL 3.23.x setup that has approx 4000 database and 4000 user accounts. 1 database per user.
I created each userid from a script of the form CREATE DATABASE mdb_userid; GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, ALTER, INDEX,RELOAD ON mdb_userid.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd'; GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, ALTER, INDEX,RELOAD ON mdb_userid.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; (this is part of a much longer script that I pass thru to mysql and I'm using dummy/example userid,passwd and host entries in the above). I now need to grant additional access from a number of subnets for each of the users in the database to their own database. I wanted to use a statement of the form GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, ALTER,INDEX,RELOAD ON mdb_userid.* TO userid@'192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd'; But the issue is that I do not have the plain text versions of each of the users password; as many have changed over the years. So I can't use the latter format with IDENTIFIED BY as I want to retain existing passwds. If I just do the above without having an IDENTIFIED BY entry then the users get a blank passwd which is definetly a no-no in my environment. Ideally what I'd like is a quick and simple way to grant users access from the new subnets but to retain their existing passwords - and without me having to extract all their existing encrypted passwords and then inserts them in afterwards in the appropriate tables - I prefer using GRANT. Is there anyway I can what I'm after? many thanks Shin -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
