SUMMARY

To allow network clients to connect to a MySQL server on OS X, users must grant access to specific users within their subnet. This involves modifying the MySQL grant tables to include the appropriate permissions. Additionally, it is essential to ensure that networking is enabled in the MySQL configuration file, my.cnf. If my.cnf is absent, users should verify the grant tables for proper configuration.

You'll want to grant access whoever within your subnet.

Also, make sure you have networking enabled in my.cnf

There is no my.cnf, so that should not be a problem. I will check the grant tables thanks.
