Hi

I have problem with passwords.

Normal users who have only 'USAGE' global privileges are
not able to change their own password. I tried to do fresh installation of mysql 4.0.9 (and 4.0.8) on my windows workstation. I created new user (as root):

GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO dummy@localhost;

then I logged in as 'dummy' (mysql -u dummy) and tried to change password for dummy:

SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD('newpassword');

I got:

ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to database 'mysql'

This functionality worked just fine with mysql 3.23.54. and 3.23.55. What kind of privileges normal user needs in order to change his/her own password?
