Well, it wasn't a problem with mysql per sey but a problem with how I was entering the command. The man page says /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u user -p somepassword is correct as is /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u user --password(or pwd)=somepassword but the correct, undocumented way is /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u user -p password 'somepassword' The spaces are important. The mysql man page REALLY needs to be updated to reflect that the other methods DO NOT WORK. The way I had to do it is the only way it works, at least on my install. I'm running Gentoo Linux and the above way, according to what I've seen in the archives, seems to be the only real way to do it. -- Joseph A.
