You can't say mysql to use a root password *before* you actually set it. Move /root/.my.cnf away, then set the password and then feel free to use it :) BTW: You only need [client], mysql and mysqladmin both also parse them, IIRC. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
