Hi,

I am new to SQL and have a couple of problems.  I have MySQL running on NT4
fine.  I can issue queries to the database and retrieve records, create new
tables, etc.  

I have a problem with the security side. I have tried to add users as per
the manual.  Similar to what follows.

shell> mysql --user=root mysql
 mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO monty@localhost IDENTIFIED BY
'something' WITH GRANT OPTION; 

however...  The user never seems to appear in the user table and I cannot
logon using that user ID.  I can issue an sql insert statement to add the
user, but despite it then appearing in the table, I still can't logon with
that user.  At the moment I can only log on as root!

Regards, Paul
