Error in section: Modifying access to the MySQL database for multiple systems

Description

The section "Modifying access to the MySQL database for multiple systems" of "Installing and using MythTV" says to do the following:

$ mysql -u root mythconverg mysql> grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"192.168.1.%" identified by "mythtv"; mysql> flush privileges;

In my experience, that's only half the story. One also needs to set the password. I wanted it to be the same as for mythtv@localhost so I ran the following to get the encrypted password:

mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'mythtv'@'localhost';

+-------------------------------- | Grants for mythtv@localhost \

|

+-------------------------------- | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'mythtv'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*4B...' | | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mythconverg.* TO 'mythtv'@'localhost' \

|

+--------------------------------

And then set copied it as follows:

mysql> set password for 'mythtv'@'192.168.%.%' = '*4B...'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Thanks for verifying I've done something wrong! Can you give me a clue as to what the right thing to do is?

Thanks,

Neal
