A bit more info on this. This interesting error happens with GRANT:

1 row in set (0.01 sec)
But a new user works fine:
mysql grant all on testing.* to buttface@'%' identified by 'somepassword';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
I can update the old user's password:
mysql update mysql.user set password=password('somepassword') where
user='testing';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
But still cannot login:
# mysql -u testing -psomepassword testing
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'testing'@'localhost' (using
password : YES)
Thanks a ton for any suggestions!

Re: Migrating MySQL users
Hello, First all it is not recommended at all to dump and import user information. Secondly the user authentication system has changed between 4.0 and 4.1 so old passwords from 4.0 wont work. Its given in the docs. Thirdly, MySQL does not store the actual password in its database. It always keeps a hash of the password and all the comparison are done against it.

I imported things like this: # mysqldump --skip-add-drop --all-databases | mysql -h newbox -u root -p Somehow this didn't get the mysql.user table correctly. So I dumped that one seperately like this: # mysqldump --skip-add-drop --skip-extended mysql user | mysql -h newbox -u root -p mysql Now I have all the users in the new mysql.user table. But when I try to login, the same credentials do not work. Both DB servers are 4.1 servers, one happens to be Debian and the other RedHat. Both servers have the wide password field and use old_password in my.cnf.
