OT mysql user setup

[Christopher G Tantalo]

   This is an off-topic question, so please excuse this.  I am using a 
cgi/dbi script to connect to a mysql database that I have set up on my 
sparc 10, using Debian at home.  Now, I want to give people user 
accounts to the database and not the system, but when I try to connect 
as the user, it doesnt work, even though they are in the mysql.user 
database.  (The command I used was "Grant ALL to <user name> on 
<database name> identified by <password>").  Is this the right way to 
get people set up?
  
   And secondly, on the topic of being secure, having them connect by 
typing in their username and password in a text input box using cgi/dbi 
is fine?  Or should I look into using an HTTPS connection to have things 
encrypted?
Chris
