Package: cacti Version: 0.8.5a-8 Followup-For: Bug #273261 I'm experiencing the same problem. I've tested this by createing a local file called 'tmpfile' with the contents: [client] host = sd01 port = 3306 user = admin password = hash)(*&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and running the command (which is one of the commands used in the cacti.postinst): $ mysql --defaults-file=tmpfile -B -e 'show databases' Gives me: ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) If I change the contents of 'tmpfile' so the last line is: password = 'hash)(*&[EMAIL PROTECTED]' then I get $ mysql --defaults-file=tmpfile -B -e 'show databases' Database mysql -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages cacti depends on: ii apache 1.3.33-3 versatile, high-performance HTTP s ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libphp-adodb 4.52-1 The 'adodb' database abstraction l ii logrotate 3.7-2 Log rotation utility ii mysql-client 4.0.23-3 mysql database client binaries ii php4 4:4.3.10-2 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php4-cgi 4:4.3.10-2 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php4-mysql 4:4.3.10-2 MySQL module for php4 ii php4-snmp 4:4.3.10-2 SNMP module for php4 ii rrdtool 1.0.49-1 Time-series data storage and displ ii snmp 5.1.2-6 NET SNMP (Simple Network Managemen ii wwwconfig-common 0.0.42 Debian web auto configuration -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
