MySQL 4.x uses a new hashing length for passwords. You can keep the old shorter hash until NessusWX is updated. Simply use
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR
-> 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');to reset the password to the shorter hash.

Greetings,
after trying to export some reports into my database, I ask
myself if the provided libmySQL.dll is capable of connecting to a
4.1.7 MySQL?
According to Ethereal, it get's back the following:
``Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client''
Two things in my eyes:
1) NessusWX should report the error-message, at least in the debug-logfile
2) What version is supported? Does any mysql-guru know what changed and is now incompatible?
