Hi - I have read extensively the MySQL database security chapter in SAMS TY MySQL - and I must be missing something.
I have allowed myself to connect from any host by adding a "% kev" record to my users file and a "10.0.0.142 %" record to my hosts file and a "% % kev" to my db file - when I try and telnet internally to the database I get "Host '10.0.0.142 is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server". needless to say all the priv flags are set to 'Y' Is there something I need to do on setup - I can telnet to my Linux server then start mysql -p -u root no problem. I am trying to use mysql front to connect to the database on my pc and the database on the server so that I can transfer what's on my pc over to the Linux server. What have I missed.
