What is the version of your mysql client? If it is pre 4.1 then it is likely being bitten by the password length change from 4.0.xx to 4.1 from 16bytes to 41bytes.
You'll need to read the note on passwords in the 4.1 docs. Hope this helps. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
