Here is something radical if you want to record the grants yourself:
Run the following query
SELECT CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR ''',user,'''@''',host,''';') UserGrants FROM
mysql.user WHERE user IS NOT NULL AND user <> '' AND host IS NOT NULL AND host
<> '';
This query will create a SHOW GRANTS FOR command for all users in the mysqld
instance. Pipe the output to a ShowGrants.sql file
Mysql --skip-column-names -h<host> -u<username> -p<password> -A -e"SELECT
CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR ''',user,'''@''',host,''';') UserGrants FROM mysql.user
WHERE user IS NOT NULL AND user <> '' AND host IS NOT NULL AND host <> ''" >
ShowGrants.sql
Then execute the script:
Mysql -h<host> -u<username> -p<password> -A < ShowGrants.sql > AllGrants.sql
AllGrants.sql will have all GRANTS but each line has no semicolon at the end
Just append a semicolon at the end of every line like this:
sed -i 's/$/;/' AllGrants.sql
Give it a try !!!

Can I safely assume that dumping the database named "mysql" dumps just
as well as using --all-databases? Our backup script does a mysqldump
for each separate database, and soon will separately dump every table
in every database. (Easier to do a diff when I change just one
table.)
