IRC user EarthLion asked a question about adding new users. In the "Host" dropdown, there's an option for "Use Host Table" but none of us knew what that meant, nor was it explained in Documentation.html. What does this setting do?

Thanks

    Indeed this should be explained, maybe in the doc and a link to this on the interface. Basically it means that the hostname will be left empty in the user table for this user; in this case, the host table is used to compute privileges. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/request-access.html but it's quite complex (IMO overly complex for most cases).
