Topic: resync mysql root password

[guestHH]

Hi,

I know there is a 'simple' command to get the mysql root password back in sync with ldap. But again I simply can't find it any more in the forums.

help please...

Thx,

...... and if I try the search option in different ways I would get this thread:

RequestedDeletion,

This is what you are after

To sync the passwords once, perform the following steps as the root user:
Stop MySQL.
   # /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld stop

Sync the MySQL password from the LDAP password.
   # /etc/e-smith/events/actions/conf-mysql-password

Start MySQL.
   # /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

Thanks Jon,

That is _exactly_ what I was after.

Maybe a tip for Dan B. to include this in his Howto. It says all about _not_ to change the password, but nothing on how to fix the problem.

Good idea, RequestedDeletion.  Take a look at it now.
