i have mysql on host1 i created a user for mysql so i could have access from 192.168.1.% that works fine on host2 i use "mysql -u user1 -p --host=host1" and it works if on host1 i use "mysql -u user1 -p --host=host1" it fails ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'user1'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /etc/hosts i have "127.0.1.1 host1.my-network host1" if i comment this line out, accessing mysql from host1 works
