It is a security issue in mySQL. % is a wildcard in SQL so it means
from every machine. See http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/mysql/ to give
yourself an introduction to mySQL security. On the other hand you will
find installing phpMyAdmin makes life a lot easier in the short run. I
prefer to use it every time I forget how to add a user to mySQL. :-) I
don't manage them and only need to create a user occasionally
