A little more information:
If I use --skip-name-resolve then I get an odd error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'me'@'0.0.0.0' (using
password: YES)
This seems to suggest that MySQL thinks my client is from '0.0.0.0' and
hence cannot match any GRANT syntax I use. Why would MySQL think my
client is from '0.0.0.0'?
Thanks in advance for any person who can offer a solution to these problems.
