If you can log into mysql, does "select * from user" print anything? A
208-byte MYD file is only large enough for about four user records. If
you had 15 in there before, they're gone. You'll probably want to
restore your entire /var/db/mysql/mysql/ directory from a backup, then
run mysql_fix_privilege_tables to bring the tables up to whatever
version of mysql you're now running.
