That's it! Problem solved thanks so much Ben and everyone, that's what I did
not understand.
I followed above, created same user with different host in a seperate command,
and
now I can login via terminal as that user.
So with MySQL, if I understand this correctly,
even if you use the same username with a different host, technically a
same username with a different host is a totally different user?
