I'm sorry, I was too tired to think of including useful info yesterday ;) I was talking about the first case: The file /etc/mysql/conf.d/old_passwords.cnf is deleted upon reinstallation of the package mysql-server-5.0 as of version 5.0.32-7etch1. The whole file disappears, not just the setting within it, or something like that. The other files (debian-start, debian.cnf and my.cnf) are untouched. hth!hop -- Time flies like an arrow... but fruit flies like a banana. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
