Actually on my Mac; 10.4.6 ppc the MySQL Administrator will only open
to a connection through localhost. The localhost connection will
accept any authorised user to connect, but, MySQL Administrator will
only assume the privileges of the account I am working from (I have
several). It has been this way for a couple of years and through a
few upgrades; it very well could be that I have something configured
or installed wrong. What do you think?
