Again, I'm not that good on this stuff but it's this basic command: The specific grant command is this one, or something like it: % mysql -u root -p mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mythconverg.* TO 'mythtv'@'remotehost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' Before you do that make sure you have camille's address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf: # keep secure by default! bind-address = 192.168.1.3 port = 3306 # this can make it even more secure: Make sure you have 192.168.1.3 in the mythsetup stuff for the server. At this point you should try logging into the mysql server from a terminal on both the server and your wife's machine. If you cannot log in then neither can Myth. From my terminal on a frontend only PC: (default password was mythtv on my system) dragonfly ~ # mysql -u mythtv -h 192.168.1.55 -p mythconverg Enter password: Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 123 to server version: 4.0.25 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> exit Bye dragonfly ~ # Hope this helps, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
