If "YES", you might be able to get state-of-the art password verification working in mysql under windows too! see the use of the "encrypt()" as per http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=784.
mysql> update TBL_USER set password= encrypt('holderio', '$1$saltsalt$') where login= 'ameyer'; mysql> select encrypt( 'holderio', password) = password from TBL_USER where login='ameyer'; P.S.: hopefully this solves it and we won't have to wait for the first successful compilation of mysqld under cygwin. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
