>Description:
The command
GRANT ALL ON dbname.* TO larry@"%" IDENTIFIED BY 'larry123';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
properly changes the mysql.user table. However, if I subsequently
attempt to use the mysql client like this
mysql -h <myhostname> -u larry -p dbname
and enter 'larry123' at the password prompt, I get an error:
Access denied for user: 'larry@myhostname' (Using password: YES)
But this is wrong, it seems. If I look in the mysql.user table,
I find this line:
% | larry | <encrypted password> | ...
suggesting that the correct information is there, but that
the wildcard '%' is not working.
>HOW-To-Repeat:
See steps above.
>Fix:
Explicitly identify the hostname; ie, do not use the wildcard.
