Author Debian and "localhost.localdomain"
Yves Goergen

2006-02-28, 8:28 pm

I've been trying to get MySQL to work on Debian 3.1 but it won't let my
newly created users connect. I added users like "something@localhost"
and when one tries to connect to the server, it says
"something@localhost.localdomain" is not allowed to connect. I suppose
it's a Debian 3.1 issue since it worked on Debian 3.0. Does anybody know
how I can get that "localdomain" out of my computer? Using MySQL 4.0.

What do you have in your /etc/hosts file?

127.0.0.1 localhost debian31

(and some IPv6 stuff that all begins with "ip6-")

There was a "localhost.localdomain" in that file, too, which I already
removed, but that didn't help.

Aah, okay, forget it. :) I changed my hosts file and removed one of the
several names, the one with that "localdomain". I have no idea what
special meaning that first item had, because "hostname" always showed me
the last one ("debian31"). Now I have rebooted that machine (just like
with Windows, eh?) and it works now. The system seems to have cached
that domain name somewhere in memory.
