I can report a major crash, when entering passwords and mail it to the list as written in the file "mysqlbug".
If you are interested please read the following lines and the .crash.log (perhaps you can give me a hint what could have been wrong): I am working with an Apple PowerBook G3 with MacOS X 10.1.2. When installing mysql the first time successful ([hlutz:/usr/local/mysql] hlutz% sudo ./scripts/mysql_install_db) there were provided some hints during processing this procedure: PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h hlutz -p password 'new-password' In the instructions of Marc Liyanage (www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/) is written: mysqladmin -u root password new_password_here First I tried Marcs instructions: [hlutz:/usr/local/mysql] hlutz% mysqladmin -u root password abc12345 -> no system alert Second I tried to do the 2nd line method of the provided hints (written above) for the user hlutz: I used the same password: [hlutz:/usr/local/mysql] hlutz% mysqladmin -u root -h hlutz -p password abc12345 -> Crash This are the lines before the crash: [hlutz:/usr/local/mysql] hlutz% mysqladmin -u root password abc12345 [hlutz:/usr/local/mysql] hlutz% mysqladmin -u root -h hlutz -p password abc12345 Enter password: Bus error (-> see mysqladmin.crash.log) [hlutz:/usr/local/mysql] hlutz% This is the mysqladmin.crash.log: Date/Time: 2002-01-06 17:58:41 +0100 OS Version: 10.1.2 (Build 5P48) Host: hlutz Command: mysqladmin PID: 500 Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000 Thread 0 Crashed: #0 0x70003b30 in memmove #1 0x00008ef0 in 0x8ef0 #2 0x00002628 in 0x2628 #3 0x00002464 in 0x2464 #4 0x00001f50 in 0x1f50 #5 0x00001d80 in 0x1d80 PPC Thread State: srr0: 0x70003b30 srr1: 0x0000d030 vrsave: 0x00000000 xer: 0x20000010 lr: 0x00008ef0 ctr: 0x70003a00 mq: 0x00000000 r0: 0x00000004 r1: 0xbffff430 r2: 0xbffff544 r3: 0xbffff540 r4: 0x00000004 r5: 0x00000000 r6: 0x00000000 r7: 0x00000004 r8: 0x70029770 r9: 0x00021400 r10: 0x000211a0 r11: 0x00016d8c r12: 0x70003a00 r13: 0x87859393 r14: 0xc24bc195 r15: 0x87859393 r16: 0xc24bc195 r17: 0x00000000 r18: 0x00000cea r19: 0xbffff478 r20: 0x00000000 r21: 0x000212c0 r22: 0x00000000 r23: 0x000212b0 r24: 0x00000000 r25: 0x000212c0 r26: 0xbffffc32 r27: 0xbffff898 r28: 0xbffff898 r29: 0x00016ce0 r30: 0x00000003 r31: 0x00008b90 ********** Kind regards Helmuth -------------------------------------- Helmuth Lutz Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
