[web] Question about phpMyAdmin privileges
I set up phpMyAdmin, everything works fine and stuff... BUT, I want to deny root access outside my LAN. I know I can allow and deny access but I'm doing something wrong. Here is the priveleges table:
User Host Password Global privileges Grant
tempuser % Yes USAGE No
root localhost Yes ALL PRIVILEGES Yes
So... that means root can only have access on localhost... right? Then why can I log in from elsewhere? Or am I wrong?
(tempuser has only access to 1 database and can log in from anywhere)
edit: I found this peace of code on the phpMyAdmin site. It's supposed to block root from logging outside the private network, but somehow something goes wrong. I can't log in at all.
