Why is log-bin needed on the slave? I thought the master logs changes and the slave reads those changes and updates it's copy. Why should the slave also log changes it is making? There was no mention of this in the docs. > - check replication account permissions on the master.

Turns out when my hosting provider "installed" MySQL 4.1, it was actually an install over a 3.x data directory. The Priv tables were never updated, so I never had the appropriate "REPLICATION SLAVE" Priv, so the thread never started. It never did say why it did not start though. Threads are now running, but data is not getting replicated. Need to figure that out now. thanks again.
