Followed the howto
D/l the mysql4 files but foolishly included MySQL-shared as well as shared-compat.
everything went ok
except the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables fails with heaps of these
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)
Somehow the ldap pword and mysql root pword got out of sync
so tried Dans fix after stopping mysql but i get the same errors again after running the fix below. Ive included the output and had a look at the script but I dont understand it ...heres is the output from trying to resync the pwords...is this right? It looks like it failed
[root@grendel mysql4]# /etc/e-smith/events/actions/conf-mysql-password

050407 10:23:37 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
Any ideas?
