On a freshly installed (windows version of) MySQL 5.5.9
SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user
gives:
user host root localhost root 127.0.0.1 root ::1 localhost
But what IP/hostname does ::1 stand here for?
::1
::1 is the IPv6 address for localhost.
The details (incl.those relevant to the Windows case) are at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/default-privileges.html.
