"Host" field in the logon screen.
What the point of the "Host" field in the logon screen.

No it isn't always localhost.

You can't enter localhost if your mysql server is on a different machine.

You mean using MySQLMan in one computer to manage
the SQL server in other computer ?

Yeah.

You would have to set up mysql to accept connections from remote servers to do that.

So you'd enter something like:

Host : www.mydomain.com

But if mysqlman is on the same server as mysql then you can just enter localhost
