Indeed, I noticed that ;-) > Maybe the problem is with the hardware, like your network card > disconnecting from the MySQL server machine? Or TCP/IP? The only comment I could find from a MySQL employee suggested that. But I don't believe them. There are no other network problems visible, and the 'authorization packet' is mid-way through the connection setup (i.e. the TCP/IP connection has already been successfully used to both send and receive data if we get as far as the 'authorization packet'). I suspect some sort of bug in the MySQLd authentication code. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
