revDatabase

[Harvey Toyama]

Hi, 
MySQL 4.1 was my first encounter with the database. The original
complaint is due to 16 vs 41 byte passwords. 

Since Revolution is the only client application I have, and since it
only support old passwords, my solution was to add "old-passwords" in
the [mysqld] section of the my.cnf file. You can update the grant tables
to use old passwords with:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

It worked for me.
