You're probably running into the pre-4.1 vs 4.1 password lengths issue <span style="font-family: monospace;">(<a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html</a>
).</span><code class="option"></code>The
easiest thing to do is to set the password for the pdns mysql user to
pre-4.1 length, like: (in mysql db) update user set password =
OLD_PASSWORD( "password" ) where user = "pdns user" (and possibly host
= "host used for that user if multiple instances of that user"). Don't
forget to "flush privileges" after.<br>
<br>
The other option is that if you're not depending on mysqld to continue
working with other mysql-4.1-aware apps, you can also start mysqld with
the option <code class="option">--old-passwords</code> <br>
<br>
This will use the old pre-4.1 authentication, which your mysql client
lib is probably using. Mind you, if you've got other apps using mysql
too, it *might* break them, so be ready to switch back in a hurry :)<br>
