I am having some difficulty with users using su and trying to access mysql, either through the command line (mysql) or via perl programs using DBD.
Under normal circumstances users are able to use the command line tool mysql or run perl programs using DBD. They usually use $HOME/.my.cnf for password information. However if user1 "su" to user2 mysql tries to authenticate the original user (user1), not the one "su" to (user2). Both the original user (user1) and the "su" user (user2) have $HOME/.my.cnf so passwords are not needed, but the program abends saying the user tried to access mysql but didn't provide a password. The system is running: Linux 2.2.19 mysql Ver 11.15 Distrib 3.23.39, for slackware-linux-gnu (i386) Any suggestions to remedy this problem would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
