I just recently installed mySQL (4.0.16-pc-linux-i686), but have been having trouble using
the mysqlaccess script. I am trying to set a root password, but every time it gives me a
"Broken pipe" error. The $MYSQL = '/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql'; line needs no
changing because I installed mysql in the default directory. Here is what i type and the
output:
root@desmond:/usr/local/mysql# ./bin/mysqlaccess -u root password '<removed>'
mysqlaccess Version 2.06, 20 Dec 2000

Broken pipe
I'm very new to sql and this is testing my patience. I've been sitting here for hours
trying to figure this out.
Thank you for your time,
Alex B.
