Enable remote access to MySQL

In MySQL config file, such as my.cnf
- comment out skip-networking
- add bind-address = YOUR_HOST_IP
- restart mysqld
- log in to mysql from server machine
- do GRANT ALL ON DATABASE.TABLE TO USERNAME@'HOST_IP/NAME' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD'; (Quote is required.)
- on client machine log in with > mysql -u USERNAME -r PASSWORD -h YOUR_HOST_IP

P.S. If there is no config file you can copy/rename from my-*.cnf in mysql directory
