Re: Accessing the Database from Other Machines on the LAN

Don't create multiple root users. And, user root is usually best defined just on localhost, more secure.

An app running against a DB needs its own defined user(s), known only to the app. Users of the app should be defined in your own user table, defining where they can log in from and which app user's privs they will enjoy.
