Ok, I looked through the archive, unsuccessfully.

Here's the "problem":

I rebuilt a machine running a MySQL db, and stupidly
only backed up the user-oriented databases, and not
the mysql administrative ones. Nonetheless, I went
back in and used the guiclient to do the appropriate
grants. After frustration, I removed those rows,
and repeated on the command line the exact statement
I had used to get the original up and running:

GRANT select, insert, update, delete
ON    dbname.*
TO    nonrootuser@'%'
IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Now I discover that no matter how I set the hostnames
in the mysql db tables, ( hostname, hostname.domain.tld,
or "%" ) only root@localhost works. Hrmf!

This becomes a real pain when the client app is on a
different machine, of course....

Running SuSE 7.0

Can I trust that the value returned by the 'hostname'
command is what I want for the value of the host columns
in the mysql db? If so, what might I have done wrong?

Suggestions?

TIA.
