Re: could not open main database: MySQL-Password Issue

Quoting Dominik Reusser <[email protected]>:

refdbd does not perform any specific checks. It simply passes the  
authentication information to libdbi, which in turn passes them to the  
requested driver. The driver uses (in your case) the libmysqlclient  
library provided by the MySQL database engine. I can only imagine that  
your libdbi driver is linked against an older version of the  
libmysqlclient library than what the database server expects.  
Rebuilding libdbi-drivers with the latest libmysqlclient library  
should fix this.

I'm a bit puzzled that only one user runs into this problem. Do the  
other users have OLD_PASSWORDs by default, e.g. because their accounts  
are older?

Markus
