Yes it will revoke those privileges, but only after you issue a "flush
privileges".

Generally speaking, It's a good idea to get rid of those "blank" entries
anyway... Just make sure your apps aren't connecting to the DB with those
"blank uname & passwd" privs first..

Cheers,

Andrew

Subject: Revoking Privs



I am trying to clear up our msyql by revoking privileges for users who no
longer exist on a particular server.

If I delete the users in the appropriate tables in the mysql database, will
that revoke their privileges?

I found in the user table in the mysql a few 'users' with no username or
password (the fields are completely blank) under generic hosts (localhost,
etc).  Should I delete these?

Thanks,

-Mike
