Hi All,
master/client are the same machine. I installed via tar.gz, ver 4.1 
following this page

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/installing-binary.html
for installation on FC3. Why would it say that the client doesn't 
support it.? Cheers.

P.S. I now can't log onto the server as root. So, I tried following 
this page,

I would suggest you start again by deleting the mysql database (ie 
/var/lib/mysql/mysql)

done
and running mysql_install_db to reinitialise the privilege tables.

get the following,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]# ./mysql_install_db
Could not find help file 'fill_help_tables.sql' in ./support-files or
inside ..
Strange, had to move the script up 1 level to get it to run...then, when 
trying to run mysqld_safe, I get this,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ./mysqld_safe
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
050502 18:53:33  mysqld ended
and the startup script fails at boot now. What's going on, I can't even 
get it to run now..? Cheers.

Alternatively try adding
    old-passwords
to the [mysqld] section in your my.cnf file.
