Re: [CentOS] CentOS 4.3 - MySQL - NIS user issue

Why does the version of mysql that comes with 4.x not work? The compat libs and oldpassword options should allow it to work with 3.x mysql clients just fine.

Since you're not using the provided mysql for 4.x, how did you install what you've got? I think at this point you need to provide some more details for what you're doing and how you got there.

'they' want the new box to have exact same versions of software to one that recently died. I am afraid its as simple as that and at the moment i can't change that. If i can prove that it is not possible then i may be able to change versions somewhat but i need to attempt to get this working first.

thanks for your input regarding the compat libs
