 The section "Modifying access to the MySQL database for multiple systems"
 of "Installing and using MythTV" says to do the following:

   $ mysql -u root mythconverg
   mysql> grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"192.168.1.%" identified by
 "mythtv";
   mysql> flush privileges;

 In my experience, that's only half the story.  One also needs to set the
 password.  I wanted it to be the same as for mythtv at localhost so I ran the
 following to get the encrypted password:

 mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'mythtv'@'localhost';
   +--------------------------------
   | Grants for mythtv at localhost
 \
                                    |
   +--------------------------------
   | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'mythtv'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD
 '*4B...' |
   | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mythconverg`.* TO 'mythtv'@'localhost'
 \
                                    |
   +--------------------------------

 And then set copied it as follows:

   mysql> set password for 'mythtv'@'192.168.%.%' = '*4B...';
   Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
