To elaborate further you do need to create a user in MySQL (who is not the 
same as a unix user) and he does need to have a password - you can't just 
leave it blank.

In MySQL you should find some scripts like mysql_setpermission - or you can 
edit the user table directly (in the database called "mysql").

You need to be careful with the access permissions - what actions can this 
user do - and what machines can it access the database from. You ought to 
set it to the minimum number of hosts possible - ie yourhostname in DNS and 
perhaps localhost however there is some confusion about this because some 
people have reported problems with 127.0.01 (localhost) actually coming 
back as "localhost.localdomain" and thus access is denied.

You can use "%" to allow access from all machines but only do this behind a 
firewall and don't do this for production systems.

This really ought to be a FAQ - however I suppose it already is on the 
turbine mailing lists.

Go Jyve Go.
