Yes, exactly. To authenticate you it has to consult the grant tables, i.e. the tables in the mysql db. It has to open those files. I never see the file opens. > Is this a MySQL issue or not?

Yes, I think it is a mysql issue in that the mysql server does not respond. It is likely that in both of our situations something has changed in the environment to make the server go catatonic. I just can't figure out what it is and mysql is not helping me figure it out at all. No error message, no core, no nothing.
