Re: #HY000Host 'XXX' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

I've been trying to connect to a MySQL server from a different Linux PC and getting this error.
I think I have cracked it; if I do

root# mysql --host A -p

from host B, I expect to be connected as 'root'@'B', but it doesn't - it connects you as 'root'@'A'.
So you have to have the user at host A in the 'user' table in mysql on host A.

Once I realised that and ran an appropriate GRANT statement it connected ok.
