Hi Monty, Thank you for your bug report. However, this is not a bug. If skip-name-resolve is used, how do you expect that "localhost" is resolved ???? Try using instead 127.0.0.1 and see if you get the warning. If you continue getting it then we shall have to take a look. Otherwise, it is not a bug .... Your feedback is truly required.

The hostname "localhost" is a special case and it works even when skip_name_resolve is set. Here is an excerpt from the manual https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/connecting.html On Unix, MySQL programs treat the host name localhost specially, in a way that is likely different from what you expect compared to other network-based programs. mysql> select @@skip_name_resolve\G *************************** 1. row *************************** @@skip_name_resolve: 1 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> status -------------- Current user: test_user@localhost Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket

Hi Monty, Would you be so kind and point me to the chapter in our user manual where it states that localhost works even when skip_name_resolve is set. Thanks in advance.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/windows-testing.html If mysqld is slow to respond to TCP/IP connections from client programs, there is probably a problem with your DNS. In this case, start mysqld with the --skip-name-resolve option and use only localhost and IP addresses in the Host column of the MySQL grant tables.

Hi Mr. Solomon, You are correct. This requires a change in our documentation. Verified as a documentation bug.

How/where is the documentation in error? The server is working as expected -- it is the warnings that are in error. The warnings state that the "localhost" entries in the user, db, and proxies_priv will be ignored but they are used and not ignored. mysql> select User,Host from user where User='monty'; +-------+-----------+ | User | Host | +-------+-----------+ | monty | localhost | +-------+-----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select @@skip_name_resolve\G *************************** 1. row *************************** @@skip_name_resolve: 1 1 row in set (0.00 sec) # mysql -umonty -p mysql> show grants\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Grants for monty@localhost: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'monty'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select @@skip_name_resolve\G *************************** 1. row *************************** @@skip_name_resolve: 1 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Not a documentation bug

This warning could be ignored, but it pollutes the logs. As monty solomon already mentioned, 'localhost' is a special case and was treated this way before as well as now too, but now we get this misleading warning. Could the devs please implement a fix to not produce the warning when the host == 'localhost'?

Changing category to server bug.

I also have those warnings in my logs on MySQL start. And I also have it when doing a GRANT a user @'localhost'. Se test case below. As Anatoli points out, the warnings can be ignored, but this is not a good habit. I blogged about this in the past: http://jfg-mysql.blogspot.com/2017/01/do-not-ignore-warnings-in-mysql-mariadb.html Please consider fixing this to avoid warning fatigue.

Posted by developer: Fixed in 8.0.14. When the server was started with the --skip-name-resolve option, spurious warnings could be written to the error log about ignoring accounts with a host name part of localhost. (The accounts in fact were used and not ignored.)

Does this mean it won't be fixed in 5.7?

Please backport the fix into version 5.7.
