>Description:
        Installation has never worked properly - I have re-installed 5 or 6 times,
different versions.  Initially Mandrake 7.0 version, then tried to install a
386 rpm - wouldn't install, said it was for the wrong architecture, so tried
the i686 binaries (initially 3.23.33-pc-linux-gnu-i686, then
3.23.49a-pc-linux-gnu-i686); same problem, so re-installed the Mandrake
version (currently on this one - 3.22.32).
        MySQL server seems to be working correctly - I can insert rows, grant
privileges using Webmin.
        Using the Client however (mysql -h localhost -p -u root), I am able to
create tables, SELECT * FROM user etc, but cannot do the following commands:

SELECT * FROM user WHERE User = 'root'; --> ERROR 1064: You have an error in
your SQL syntax near 'root' at line 1
GRANT ALL ON webdb.* TO webdev@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'webdevpass';  -->
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax bear 'webdevpass' at line 1
If I use this last command without the IDENTIFIED BY statement, a row gets
added but it doesn't get any privileges.

>How-To-Repeat:
        as above
>Fix:
        not known
        I've searched manual and two books.  Please help!!  Thanks.
