I have inherited several mysql v4x servers. All but one of them works as expected with /root/.my.cnf files.
That last server is driving me nuts ;> I have RTFM, and I do not find this particular problem anywhere. Pointers to TFM are welcome. # mysql -h localhost -u root ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) # sudo cat /root/.my.cnf [client] user = root password = ******** This works OK: # mysql -h localhost -u root -p Enter password: ******** Yes, I do know that password, and the one in /root/.my.cnf is the same, and I have changed the password for root with the same results. My own user, mds, works as expected via options file ~/.my.cnf . What am I missing? -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 877.596.8237 - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
