Which has the same effect as the suggestion in an earlier reply: flush privileges, but results in a longer outage of mysql. An alternative to doing "flush privileges" from the mysql client is to do a "mysqladmin flush-privileges" (or "mysqladmin reload" which means the same thing but is less typing). And you didn't use the Windows approach. The Windows approach is to reboot the computer any time you make a change. In fact, the Windows approach is to force a reboot upon you any time you make even a trivial change to the configuration. I suspect the day is not far off when Windows will report "You have changed a critical configuration flag by toggling the caps-lock key. Windows must reboot now." Followed in a future release by "Windows has detected that the position of the mouse has changed and must reboot." (oh, my mistake - that last feature has been in Windows all along, it just fails to work most of the time and when it does work you think it's a random crash). BTW, does anyone know if Microsoft-owned Hotmail is still using qmail despite Bill's repeated attempts to force them to switch to Exchange? :) -- Paul Allen Softflare Support
