Ok, I was confused about the password thing. It works now that I'm passing root's password in the command:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump --opt --all-databases -prootpassword > /usr/local/mysql/data/mysqldump > You're joking, right? (Perhaps you thought the original question was a > joke, too, as root normally has access to all dbs?) > > As I understand the manual <http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GRANT.html>, > that will give root access to every db, from every host except > localhost, with no password!
