OK, so I've had mysql running for quite a while on one of my boxes. I'm using it for Snort with ACID and just recently been playing with FreeRadius and mysql.
I got phpMyAdmin working and it kept complaining about mysql not having passwords and how I needed to close this gaping security hole. So I proceeded to close said hole.... See where I'm going? I can't get mysql to let me access it now.
--------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# mysql --user=root mysql ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql' ---------------
Its not even asking for the password, which I do know. Before I blow away the grant tables and recreate them I'm trying to understand what I did wrong and how to fix it. for instance, why does the error show the user as '@localhost'?
add the -p option to the command line, it will prompt you for a password.
