Hi Ryan, Just making sure : Its not an issue with old style and new style passwords like between version 3.x and 4.1.x ? (I asume you did upgrade from an older version and did run the tables upgrade script ) Soory for the insulting question, but this came straight into my head when I read your question, especially as you said you could set the root password. Actually, I would need much more detail to really troubleshoot your problem, but its an educated geuss what I am doing here ;-) Best regards Nils Valentin Tokyo / Japan http://www.be-known-online.com > > Hello all: > > I am running Debian woody and am using the Debian package for MySQL > 4.1.
