Our community is starting to use excuses and workarounds instead of fixing the code, and it also shows some sign of the rebol's state and how small our community actually is ;-) Sorry for such words, but thruth might hurt sometimes ;-)
So - why does it work for you? If you upgrade from older version, your user tables are not adapted automatically, you would have to run fix-passwords or so script to correct it. Old passwords used 16bytes value, new ones use 41bytes value. During weekend, I identified scheme code, which does password scrambling, I even downloaded mySQL source-code and found the part responsible for passwords. I posted guidelines to AltME mySQL channel and asked for assistance, but you know what? No signle reaction. I would do it myself, if I would not be in my limits already. That is about others, skilled with hashing methods or C code, to step-in and at least give some pointers about what is being needed to be done ... The last thing I could do, is to post my findings and references here, as not everyone is on AltME .... I can do it directly - just go and read here - http://www.rebol.net/altweb/rebol3/ I marked the MySQL group as [web-public], so we will see if it syncs even old discussion to that website. If it does not appear there, I can repost here .... Using old-passwords trick is OK, unless your ISP will not regard them being a security risk .... after all it was security risk, which got mySQL authors to update their authentication scheme ... btw - I tried SDK Command version, and it seems it can connect - so those lucky owning Command can connect even with new passwd schemes ... -pekr- -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
