So it's a future thing since I can see MySQL is only at 4.0.13 now. Anyway, I do prefer (hopefully there are others too ;) inserting directly into user, db, host,... tables instead of using GRANT, so for this case I (still) can use PASSWORD(), right ?!
BTW, maybe I'm missing something but what could be the use for a password function returning different results with the same input? I mean, can one using the encrypted result do anything with it after ? A comparison between encrypted results looks in this case unlikely to yeld a result like: "yes the password is good".
