Hello, I just reinstalled Red Hat 6.2 and reinstalled MySQL 3.23.38 and got the following message as usual: PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h tulip.math.ualberta.ca -p password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. But I think the message is still not right because the right message is: PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h tulip.math.ualberta.ca password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. The -p really should be taken out of there. If the mysql developers would like I can send them a fixed RPM spec file. Thanks!
