Is that equivalent to NOT running mysql_fix_privilege_tables? Or, do I
need to run the script -- or do I even need to run the script on a new 4.1
install; just go back and alter the table to change the size?
Didn't think of "Password hashing" as a search term. Thanks for the tip.

If you resize the password column to what it was pre 4.1 it will store a
hash the same length as the old algo used to produce and users will be
able
to log in just fine.
Michael Stassen pointed me to this link
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Password_hashing.html>. and it has a number
of
work arounds.
