Imagine an ISP giving every customer write privileges for the mysql/bin directory ... ;-/ Unfortunately, Monty did'nt mention if this is fixed in 4.0.8 or going to be fixed in 4.0.9 or 4.1. Personally, I regard this security "improvement" rather a bug than a feature.

I posted the same problem a couple of days ago. LOCAL will not work because of a security "improvement" the MySQL folks applied. As far as I could figure out, the only way to solve this issue is to grab a source distribution and compile MySQL with --enable-local-infile. All the command line options the manual describes do not work at all! I wonder if - finally and hopefully - someone from MySQL will reply to the LOCAL problem mails, and tell us what to do (maybe there's a workaround), or when the problem will be solved.
