Did you upgrade your MySQL package to the semi-bleeding edge 4.1.x
series? Did all your scripts stopped working because of 'Authorization
Issues'?
If your answers are yes then you have been caught in today's 'Gotcha'!
To remedy (?) this annoying problem, you have to reset the password of
the MySQL account you are connecting with using the following
statement
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
This will change the password used for the account to the old style
used by MySQL 4.0.x
Hope this helps :D
PS: I just found out that this issue is actually documented :s
