I am trying to get this working because I need to 
connect to MySQL from OpenOffice 2's database program.

It's still getting connection refused when I try 
to connect through it to a database on the server.

I have executed the GRANT command in MySQL on the 
server for the user, and when I do SHOW GRANTS in 
the database, all looks okay there.
