[Help-gnu-radius] mysql/radius populate db question

[Greg G]

Here's my situation.  I'm implementing radiusd on a solaris box using a 
mysql database that's on a remote windows host.  I've managed to get a 
user authenticaed (still with the CLID unknown message, but I'll move 
on.  Hope that's OK to do.)  I had added that user manually from a mysql 
command line from the same host that I'm running the radiusd on (that 
is, I did a mysql -h <windows host>).

Now I'm trying to populate the database from a perl script running on 
that same solaris box, I get the following:

DBD::mysql::st execute failed: insert command denied to user: 
'address@hidden' for table 'attrib' at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/sun4-solaris/Mysql.pm line 175.

That makes some sort of sense, since the permissions granted by the db 
creation script only grant privs to the radius userid on that windows 
box. (GRANT SELECT on RADIUS.attrib to radius@'%';) What I don't 
understand is how I was able to do it from the command line but it's not 
working from the perl script?

Any advice?

Thanks.
