I have an RH 8 stock installation (meaning I have not yet updated it
from rhn). I had it install MySQL from the disks. I cannot however
access it from outside the localhost box.
I can always access it from inside the box.
mysql - u root -p
or any other user I create @localhost
The following is what I have installed for users:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '******'
WITH GRANT OPTION;
I repeated this process for other 'outside users' replacing
root@localhost with test@"%" + a password and [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my
workstation ip on the local net). But no user password combo will allow
me to login from my workstation.
The linux box is on 10.1.10.3/8
The my.cnf:
[mysqld]
datadir=var/lib.mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib
[safe_mysql]
err-log=/var/log/mysql.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysql/mysql.pid
I remember messing with sendmail for months with this same problem until
I found out that on 7.3 RedHat disabled outside access by default. This
feels like the same thing.
PS As a side issue is there anyway to use for example 10.0.0.0/8 or
equivalent. It seems to only take exact addresses instead of address
ranges in the GRANT line.
Thanks in advance for any help
