Try this when logged in on the local host, then restart MySQL....
INSERT INTO `mysql.user` (`Host`, `User`, `Password`, `Select_priv`, `Insert_priv`, `Update_priv`, `Delete_priv`, `Create_priv`, `Drop_priv`, `Reload_priv`, `Shutdown_priv`, `Process_priv`, `File_priv`, `Grant_priv`, `References_priv`, `Index_priv`, `Alter_priv`) VALUES ('%', 'user_to_have_outside_access', PASSWORD('your_password'), 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y');

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
