I have a mysql connection problem that I'm trying to understand. The three servers and the version of mysql they are running (all under Solaris9) are: db1 - 4.0.16 db2 - 4.0.17 db3 - 4.1.3
All three systems have the same mysql user and passwords setup. I'll use the mythical user "xx" with password "yy" to explain here. Connections with the mysql client (using "-uxx -pyy") from system to system all work except this one on db2: mysql -hdb3 -uxx -pyy ERROR 1045: Access denied for user 'xx'@'db2' (using password: YES) The mysql.user table entry has host=% and user=xx, so it's not simply an issue of a system-specific entry allowing one and not the other. Since db1 has no problem getting to db3, I wouldn't expect db2 to struggle. This same problem occurs with all users, so it' is also not something specific to how this user is setup. Does anyone know why this would be happening? Is there something different in 4.0.17 (compared to 4.0.16) that prevents it from connecting to the 4.1.3 server? I don't see anything in the 4.0.17 change list specific to this.
