Package: mysql-server-4.1
Version: 4.1.14-6
Severity: important

The fact that I don't see anyone else having this problem leads me to
believe I must be doing something obviously wrong, but I'm not seeing it.
Upgrading to mysql-server-4.1 has broken imp3 which relied on php4-mysql.
Now, arguably php4-mysql should be recompiled against a newer
libmysqlclient, but the suggested workaround of adding old_passwords = 1 to
my.cnf doesn't seem to be helping.  I still get this in mysql.log when it
tries to connect:

051017 18:09:59       5 Connect     Client does not support authentication
protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

I'm attaching my my.cnf although it's mostly stock.  I've verified that I
have indeed stopped and restarted mysql.
