[Pdns-users] Mysql connect erros

[Mark Moseley]

You're probably running into the pre-4.1 vs 4.1 password lengths issue (
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html).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.

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 --old-passwords 

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 :)
