Hello,
Im new to using MySQL in freeBSD, im fairly experienced getting MySQL to work in a windows environment, but I am trying to learn FreeBSD. I got as far as installing and running MySQL 5 server on FreeBSD 6.2 successfully. The problem is i dont know how to work my way through managing MySQL in FreeBSD. Normaly I use a client machine with windows and use MySQL GUI tools like MySQL Administrator. But i can becuase i get denied becuase my client machine (192.168.2.6) isnt allowed to.
So with that said, how do i add host 192.168.2.6 to get full access using root, using FreeBSD's localhost?
Thanks to all who help.

thats the first part i dont know how to do, using the host (FreeBSD) to get into my sql to run that command.
Im logged in as root, and when i run that line it gives me this in return:
# UPDATE mysql.user SET host = '%' WHERE user = 'root' ; FLUSH PRIVILEGES ;
UPDATE: Command not found.
FLUSH: Command not found.
Thanks for the help so far!

Connect to the server from the FreeBSD host using the command-line interface (as root) and issue:
UPDATE mysql.user SET host = '%' WHERE user = 'root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
