hi list i have an FC4 machine with mysqld installed with the default configuration, "Say Box A", and i have another FC4 machine which i want to use as a client, say "Box B"

when i start mysqld service on "Box A" and i issue the following command on shell #mysql -u root -p

it simply connects with the server mysqld running on the localhost.

but when i goto "Box B" and issue the following command

#mysql --host="Box A's IP" -u root -p

it says the "Box B" is not allowed to connect to the mysqld server

how to resolve this issue

Well (1) these are all FC4 systems so you could try their lists rather than the Suse lists! (2) it's a mysql usage problem so you could try their lists rather than an OS list! It's a permission issue. Read the mysql docs for how to set up permissions on the version of mysql that you have, which you didn't tell us.
