OK, so I've got my PowerBook set up with MySQL 4.1.7. I've logged in through the Terminal a bunch of times, and queries work fine. I set up some users and flushed privileges.

But when I try to set up CocoaMySQL or YourSQL to access the server on localhost, it only works if I have no password set.

BTW, CocoaMySQL works fine sending a password, loggin into my old Linux MySQL server.

CocoaMySQL fails very quietly, but YourSQL complains:

java.io IOException
MESSAGE: Unexpected end of input tream

It may have something to do with a MySQL hook, timster. Have a look at msg #9...

Sorry it took so long to get back on this...yes, coopster, you hit the nail on the head.

I bit the bullet and bought Navicat, so I don't have to fool around with the OLD_PASSWORD function in MySQL.
