Does the Server 2008 machine that I am using to access the MySQL db need some sort of client installed on it? Or some kind of authentication module? I only ask because I tried to telnet from MS-DOS, to verify connectivity and got a response that seemed to suggest it wasn’t being allowed.

Shouldn't 'FQDN_for_mysql_server.com' be IP/Hostname of the server initiating connection and not the mysql server itself ?

I finally got my syslog-ng servers to pass logs to the MySQL db, but was having some problems getting LogAnalzyer to access the db. I re-installed Log Analyzer but now I am getting an access denied error: Connection to the database server failed. Access denied for user 'syslog'@'FQDN_for_mysql_server.com' (using password: YES).
Here is the output of the grants for the 'syslog' user:
CODE: SELECT ALL

And here is what my config.php looks like:
$CFG['DefaultSourceID'] = 'Source1';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['ID'] = 'Source1';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['Name'] = 'Syslog';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['ViewID'] = 'SYSLOG';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['SourceType'] = SOURCE_DB;
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['DBTableType'] = 'syslogng';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['DBType'] = DB_MYSQL;
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['DBServer'] = 'ustc-mysql';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['DBName'] = 'Syslog';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['DBUser'] = 'syslog';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['DBPassword'] = 'pTRl819ELI0viRmXaEUO';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['DBTableName'] = 'SystemEvents';
$CFG['Sources']['Source1']['DBEnableRowCounting'] = false;
