odd user/permissions/table access problem

2003-03-17 Thread Mike Whybark
I just upgraded to

mysqladmin  Ver 8.23 Distrib 3.23.55, for apple-darwin6.3 on powerpc

from 3.23.52. Both packages are via Marc Liyanage's binary 
distribution from http://www.entropy.ch/.

following the upgrade, one (and only one) of the databases is 
affected such that its' user access is disrupted.

---
Error (1044) : Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to 
database 'primaryuserdatabase'
---

root-level or widely privileged users can access the database without 
difficulty.

if a given user, with tight access to another database, is granted 
access to the database, the granted access will not work, and the 
user access request will generate this error:

---
Error (1044) : Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to 
database 'primaryuserdatabase'
---

I've established to my own satisfaction that this problem is specific 
to primaryuserdatabase; however, I don't understand why top-level 
users with global privs can access the database when the restricted 
users cannot.

please advise, and feel free to request more data. Thank you for your time!

Is the primaryuser account specified with Host value in the user table?
And after the upgrade do you have an entry in the user table that has
Host = localhost and User = blank?
please advise, and feel free to request more data. Thank you for your time!
