I was having the same problem... I looked up the GRANT command in the mysql manual and i found some usefull commands. This is from the manual:
shell> mysql --user=root mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO monty@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO monty@"%"
IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> GRANT RELOAD,PROCESS ON *.* TO admin@localhost;
mysql> GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO dummy@localhost;
These GRANT statements set up three new users:
monty: A full superuser who can connect to the server from anywhere, but who must use a password 'some_pass' to do so. Note that we must issue GRANT statements for both monty@localhost and monty@"%". If we don't add the entry with localhost, the anonymous user entry for localhost that is created by mysql_
install_db will take precedence when we connect from the local host, because
it has a more speci c Host held value and thus comes earlier in the user table
sort order.
admin: A user who can connect from localhost without a password and who is granted the reload and process administrative privileges. This allows the user to execute the mysqladmin reload, mysqladmin refresh, and mysqladmin flush-*
commands, as well as mysqladmin processlist . No database-related priv-
ileges are granted. (They can be granted later by issuing additional GRANT
statements.)
dummy: A user who can connect without a password, but only from the local host. The global privileges are all set to 'N' | the USAGE privilege type allows you to
create a user with no privileges. It is assumed that you will grant database-
specic privileges later.
Hope this helps
