MySQL 4 & Old Password

[Joey]

Is there a way to tell mysql 4 to defaul to the old style passwords instead
of having to run this every time we add a user?

SET PASSWORD FOR  <mailto:'user'@'localhost'> 'user'@'localhost' =
OLD_PASSWORD('passowordo');

Applications we develop in php, and phpMyadmin don't seem to work with the
new style password.

 

Thanks!
