This is far more a MySQL question than a Gentoo one. Have you located a script called mysql_fix_privileges somewhere? I believe there was a change in password format from the version you had and the upgraded one. Maybe start the server with the OLD_PASSWORD parameter to test...
And check the version for Administrator, maybe you need an upgrade too. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
