mysql -h mysqlhost.mycompany.com (only attempt to connect to localhost)

[Dave Rose]

Hi there,

I am hoping you can shed some light on this issue I am having. I'm trying to connect to a remote mysql instance, but the -h flag is seemingly ignored and I get an error : ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'drose'10.53.83.122' (using password: NO)

which is my local IP. I had previously installed mysql via homebrew on macOS High Sierra, and then did a remove. There is no nothing in my cellar but I did install mysqlsh and still having the same issue. Anyone run into this and know what I need to alter? I'm assuming mysql client is binding to 127.0.0.1, but I can't locate any config file in /etc or /etc/mysql or anywhere in the cellar location.
