This sounded good, but....

"dig photon" returns "command not found"

I logged onto the server as root and issued the command:

grant all privileges on *.* to 'michael'@'%' identified by ????;
(??? is the password, in quotes, of course). It responded
        Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

I still can't connect via
        mysql -h photon -u michael -p??????

Still 
        ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'photon' (111)
