MySQL Privilege System Centos4

[gijsbert]

I just noticed that each database which is setup through the Plesk GUI on a CentOS4 system with MySQL4 is stored in the mysql-database with the following information:

mysql> select Host from db;

+---------------+
| Host |
+---------------+
| % |
| % |

mysql> select Host from user;

+---------------+
| Host |
+---------------+
| % |
| % |

Why isn't this localhost in stead of the percent-sign? When setting up a MySQL-database I use the "local MySQL server (Default for MySQL)"

Can anyone check if they percentsigns in the mysql privilege system? Does anyone know if swsoft changed this setting for a particular reason?
