"It didn't work" is one of the worst things you can say to someone
tring to diagnose a problem :)

Didn't work as in mysqld failed to start because it didn't understand
the option? or didn't work as in after mysqld started up with
old-passwords set to true and you created a new user you couldn't
connect with that user using an old client?
