I'm having a problem similar to the one mentioned in the list message http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/165952
* I built, installed, and run MySQL 4.0.18 o gcc 2.95.3 on Solaris 9 * I created a user "abcd" and used MyPHPAdmin to give this user a password "xxyyzzaa" * I can login using the command-line 'mysql -u abcd' * I cannot login using the command-line ' mysql -u abcd -pxxyyzzaa' o ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) * As root I have executed 'USE mysql; SELECT USER,PASSWORD FROM USER' and have verified the password field for 'abcd' was instantiated. Can anyone inform me how to cause MySQL to use passwords? Thank you. -- Jack J.
