Hello,

yesterday's `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade` broke mysql.  I
used to have the root account passwordless, but now this doesn't work
anymore.  mysql -u root is giving me

        ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using
        password: NO)

and on shutdown I get

        Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld/usr/bin/mysqladmin:
        connect to server at
        'localhost' failed
        error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using
        password: NO)'
        ...failed
                You don't seem to have the right password in
                /root/.my.cnf
                Killing MySQL database server by signal: mysqld.
                
This will prevent a clean system shutdown, too.

Is there an new option, that prevents passwordless root accounts or has
the interpretation of the host table recently changed?

Thanks,
Viktor
