Mac OS XS 10.2 when you install the OS you have the oppt'y to put in a machine name (not the AppleTalk, Sharing name).
i almost always put in a name. that name (mbase), it is also my default web host; that name also shows up at my terminal prompt (instead of the usual "localhost"). if i look under Machines in NetInfoMgr., it will only show "localhost", but fine, everything works fine. however, when i setup MySQL, if i select browse, using phpMyAdmin, on the mysql db, user table, (see link), i can see localhost and mbase once each for each instance. while i believe this isn't hurting anything, i'd like to understand it and i'd also like to know if some of them can be deleted (using the the 'delete' link shown)? that is, how they got created [why]? and are any redundant? you can see an image of what i refer to at: http://mbase.shacknet.nu the image is exactly as it was created by my system/mysql. thanks in advance, Ted p.s. i could (and have to some degree) read and read the documentation for MySQL and phpMyAdmin (and Apache) and it seems to be taking me YEARS to understand what many of you must realize as fairly simple (no offense ;) :( --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
