Some extra detail for people trying this with the standard OSX mysql install - the file you want to create/modify is /etc/my.cnf. For some reason the [mysqld] group doesn't work (it should). I use

[mysql.server]
old-passwords

You need to recreate the user, reassigning the password doesn't seem to be enough.

Hey Geoff

Yeah - it definitely works. The biggest gotcha is:

--------------------
Add old-passwords to the "[mysqld]" section of the my.ini file and
then restart the service.

For example:

[mysqld]
# enable old passwords - for older client connectivity
old-passwords ------------------


The location of the my.ini file will depend on your service startup parameters.

Not sure if that's it, as there are a couple of other things, but feel
free to msn me if I can help or post some more info on what is going
wrong.
