why i can't use mysqldump command?

[Anon]

i can start mysql in red hat,
but when i use "mysqldump",
the system say:"root@localhost is
denied access"!why?who can tell me,please?

Hmmm this sounds like a job for: Manual man!

Mysql only accepts connections from users that have been
added into mysql's access tables.

Read the manuals section about access rights and the GRANT statement.

i have setted privilege for root on localhost.The command is:
"insert into user(user,host,db,....) values('root','localhost','%','y','y',...)"

Read the Mysql manual, use the GRANT statement.
