Hello,
Is it safe to assume that everyone else that runs MySQL 3.22.25
on BSDI 4.01 does not have the same problem I do.
I have install MySQL 3.22.25 and a friend of mine has installed
MySQL 3.22.25 & MySQL 3.23.2-alpha on different machines
with the exact same problem. Passwords do not work.
If anyone has gotten MySQL 3.22.25 to work on BSDI 4.01,
could you send me the command line options you used to
compile MySQL. I'm grasping at straws at the moment.
>mysql --password=your-password
Doesn't work for me.
>Ray> foo: {121} % ./mysql -u hodel -p
>Ray> Enter password:
>Ray> pass = test
>Ray> Access denied for user: 'hodel@localhost' (Using password: NO)
The "pass = test" is what was returned from getpass().
I'll try delving into the code a little to see how far the password gets
before
connecting to the server.
Thanks for the help,
Ray Hodel
