When you connect from local box you can use '127.0.0.1' instead of 'localhost'. $ mysql -uegor ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO) $ mysql -uegor -h127.0.0.1 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 18 to server version: 4.0.18-standard-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> SELECT CURRENT_USER(); +----------------+ | CURRENT_USER() | +----------------+ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Egor Egorov / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
