title: How to grant remote access permissions to mysql server for user?
body: <p>If I do <code>SHOW GRANTS</code> in my mysql database I get</p>
  
  <pre><code>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' 
      IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'some_characters' 
      WITH GRANT OPTION
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I am not mistaken, <code>root@localhost</code> means that user <code>root</code> can access the server only from <code>localhost</code>. How do I tell MySQL to grant <code>root</code> the permission to access this mysql server from every other machine (in the same network), too?</p>
