Re: command mysql -u $user without typing it - getting shafted and annoyed now.
How did you add the users? If you inserted them into the user table, you are asking for trouble unless you understand exactly what you are doing. That is why the GRANT and REVOKE statements were added. Since you did not use 'identified by "somepassword"' I'm not sure if you set one, in which case the "-p" option would cause a failure. Also, even though the manual states that you don't need to FLUSH PRIVILEGES after using GRANT, I find that sometimes I do.

RE: command mysql -u $user without typing it SORTED THANKS ALL !!!!
I had cleared down the user table, and had the correct entries, BUT I had not cleared down the DB tables, as I thought grant would do this. after clearing down the db table and then granting the privileges it worked. Sorry for the mistake on my part all but I have a better understanding of whats going on. I thank everyone for their time on this problem. one thing though, I am surprised that grant did not alter the db table ? does this surprise anyone else.

The only explaination is corruption. It sounds to me like you haven't removed the @localhost entry, but you want user@% to be matched when you connect from localhost. Could that be it? If so, section 4.2.8 is your (rather dull) friend. //C -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?

Matt: I don't remember you saying what machine you're running mysql on. Try adding another copy of the same user only @localhost. My win32 installation requires that for a dos box. The hosting service I use doesn't seem to care as it almost seems to ignore the Host column. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO foo@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO foo@"%" IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; Good luck.

RE: command mysql -u $user without typing it ????
I was doing a flush privileges. but this was coming up with the same thing no rows affected which to me was concerning. I have now got 1 user working but 1 user not. I am going to delete all users and start again with the users, as at the start I was not doing flush privileges and I was also trying put hostnames without DNS into the hosts field. I may have corrupted the user accounts in some way. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the help and the good explainations though. I am sure it will be a user error on my part if 1 user is working and another 1 not. Cheers.

You must do a "FLUSH PRIVILEGES" after making any changes to the user permissions before they will actually take effect.
