-----Original Message----- From: David Smith Or grant privileges on the database to 'x'@'localhost' and 'x'@'localhost.localdomain'. Then give both accounts the same password. It won't matter which one mysql sees because they'll both work.
Thanks, easier than tweaking each new install of rhel. For the record, mysql does a reverse lookup of the host and makes that part of the credentials matching it up with the host field in the mysql.user table. I added a note to the mysql man pages, hopefully might trigger others to avoid this one. regards DaveP. ** snip here ** -- DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
