    Description

      CREATE USER:
      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-user/

      Host Name Component says:
      You can only use netmasks that specify a multiple of 8 bits of the address to match. That is, only the following netmasks are allowed:
      255.0.0.0
      255.255.0.0
      255.255.255.0
      255.255.255.255

      Looking at sql/sql_acl.cc, the paragraph above appears not to be true.

      If that is the case, it should be removed.

      Thank you!

            Which bit isn't true? You've asked in MDEV-25515 for the feature of full CIDR to be added.

            If you are confident of things, the kb changes can be edited by yourself, however noting problems is much appreciated.

            Daniel,

            This bit is not true:
            "You can only use netmasks that specify a multiple of 8 bits of the address
            to match. That is, only the following netmasks are allowed:
            255.0.0.0
            255.255.0.0
            255.255.255.0
            255.255.255.255"

            MDEV-25515 is about CIDR notation (e.g. /24), not about allowed netmask values
            (e.g., 255.255.255.0), so it is not relevant to this particular issue.

            Do I need to create another account (besides Jira) to edit the KB?

            Thank you!

            If you login using github or another authentication mechanism there you'll have edit access.
