Hello, I am getting the following error when I try to flush privileges or any other flush parameter for that matter. I am trying to set the root password which requires a 'flush privileges' afterwards. mysql> flush privileges; ERROR 1064: parse error near 'flush privileges' at line 1 Additional, if I try to set the password with mysqladmin I get the following: # mysqladmin -u root password example mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'parse error near 'password' at line 1' The mysql tables see setup fine with reload for user root set to 'Y'. The system is a SGI with IRIX 6.5. I installed mysql from irix binaries. >From what I can tell all of the basic function does work. I have go through many learning examples and they seem to work. I thought I should start securing things and this is when I noticed the problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
