Package: mysql-server Version: 4.0.24-10 Severity: important Hello
I have used myslq-server (client) via unixodbc and the Openoffice interface for years. For me to check the installation mysql -utest worked always, in suse and after switching to debian (4.0.22). Now when I upgraded to 4.0.24 the command did not work I got ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO Which looks pretty much like an security issue. I looked up in the changelog and saw some changes in the scripts in /etc/mysql. However for me it unclear how I have to connect now to the database. Another point: I saw that version 4.0.24 in all, three branches (stable testing unstable) and I fail to see the rationale behind this. If for some reason a version in unstable has a bug I could downgrade to the older version, but now I can't. The only explanation for this policy seems to me a serious security problem. Right now for me the database is frankly useless and therefore any help would be highly appreciated.
