I'm able to dump the table of users from one server with

mysqldump -u root -p -h [host address] mysql user > user_table_dump.sql

but how can I restore these users into my localhost enviroment? I tried without success:

mysql -u root -p mysql.user < user_table_dump.sql

mysql -u root -p mysql user < user_table_dump.sql

mysqldump -u root -p -h localhost mysql user < user_table_dump.sql

INSERT INTO mysql.user VALUES(...)
