Okay, I've now added this using the 'old-passwords' syntax in my.cnf file.
Still doesn't make any difference.

Have no idea about how to change passwords from 'old' to 'new'????

Thanks - that also answers an earlier post of mine - although I think
it should be "old-password" and if you've (as I did) set up 4.1 with
"new" style passwords, you can't then just drop this into /etc/my.cnf
without also changing all the passwords - the new and old schemes
encrypt in a different way AFAIK.
