syntax to revoke
Hi folks, OpenBSD 4.0 x86_64 Mysql Postfix_2.4.3 After running following command; mysql GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON test.* TO 'vmailuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password123'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) I found I made a mistake to run it. I need to revoke the GRANT given to vmailuser to test database. I found on; 13.5.1.5. REVOKE Syntax http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/revoke.html The syntax; REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION FROM user [, user] but can't resolve whether retaining the 1st 'user' and replace [, user] with [, vmailuser]??? Please shed me some light. TIA B.R.

Re: syntax to revoke
Hi Baron, Tks for your advice. To undo this GRANT, run REVOKE SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON test.* FROM 'vmailuser'@'localhost'; mysql REVOKE SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON test.* FROM 'vmailuser'@'localhost'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql I suppose it has been done ???

Re: syntax to revoke
Hi Baron, I suppose it has been done ??? Yes, but you can check with SHOW GRANTS FOR 'vmailuser'@'localhost' to be sure. mysql SHOW GRANTS FOR 'vmailuser'@'localhost'; +--+ | Grants for [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +--+ | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'vmailuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*A0F874BC7F54EE086FCE60A37CE7887D8B31086B' | +--+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) * end * If you are running an older version of MySQL you may also need to run FLUSH PRIVELEGES. Check the manual for the versions where this is necessary. I'm running Mysql version; $ mysql --version mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.24a, for unknown-openbsd4.0 (x86_64) using readline 4.3 To safe guard, it would be better to run 'FLUSH PRIVELEGES'. Can I re-run REVOKE SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON test.* FROM 'vmailuser'@'localhost'; then FLUSH PRIVELEGES; ??? Tks. B.R.

Can I re-run REVOKE SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON test.* FROM 'vmailuser'@'localhost'; then FLUSH PRIVELEGES; Yes. I think on this recent a version, it will have no effect, but will not harm anything. Noted with tks. B.R.

So you *have* set the root password before.
From your previous emails:
# mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
That set the password to yourrootsqlpassword.
If you need to reset it, see documentation:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/resetting-permissions.html
I tried learning resetting the password according to above URL. I
can't find set command on this box. I don't know which package
provides it so finally I surrendered.
As a final recourse, remove re-install mysql from your server.
If you have no data, then that might be the quickest easiest.
I have no data as this is a new installation for learning.
# yum groupremove mysql
It went throught w/o complaint.
# yum install mysql mysql-devel mysql-server
Also went through w/o complaint
# nano /etc/init.d/mysqld
changed;
restart(){
stop
start
}
*end*
to;
restart(){
stop
sleep 3
start
}
*end*
# chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
No complaint
# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Starting MySQL: [ OK ]
# netstat -tap
tcp0 0 *:mysql *:*
.
*end*
# mysqladmin -u root password myrootpassword
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
*end*
Still the same
