I have the following setup - mysql 4.0.24 running on Debian Linux stable. I set up a user 'mark' with a password. When I log into my Linux box as user 'mark', I cannot connect to mysql - I get this funny error message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mysql -h localhost -u mark -p mysql: unknown option '--user mark' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ If I su to another user, I can login as mark to mysql [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mysql -h localhost -u mark -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 128 to server version: 4.0.24_Debian-10sarge1-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> I don't get it - why can't I use the '-u mark' option with mysql when I am logged into my own Linux user account?
