You should go to www.mysql.com/doc and do some reading on security. Search
for the 'grant' command.

Basically you will need to telnet/ssh into the machine and then run 'mysql'
and create a new user with appropriate permissions.

All mysql permissions are stored in a db called mysql. Do not attempt to
edit this db directly - use the appropriate commands.

When you grant access, you choose where the user can log in from, you can
set 'localhost' or a specific IP or '%' means any IP.

Hope this helps.
