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??????
