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?
