QUESTION:  What are the most secure permissions settings for administrator
access to connect to my server without using a static IP address?



MY ISP changes my DSL ip address almost daily so when I log on to MySQL
Administrator with 'myusername'@'currentipaddress' using password
'mypassword'

I have grant permission to the new ip address.



I also have and account: 'username'@'%'  with no password with SELECT,
INSERT, UPDATE and  DELETE privileges only for general users for this
membership site.  Are there any security issues with this?  Any input or
direction for informed reading on the issue would be appreciated.



Thanks.
