ODBC Linux MySQL

[Guest_imported]

How to I set up the ODBC MySQL connections on a Linux box. I've been all over the MySQL documentation and can only find vague references to GRANT.

http database connections are OK using 'localhost'.

I used the grant commands shown here, and it made the difference for me. I'm connecting to a mysql db on a linux machine from a win98 machine...

Hopefully, you won't run into other connectivity problems caused by pam setup on the linux machine, but that could be another place you need to look (in /etc/pam.d/xxx).
