Pardon my posting as soon as I subscribed to this list, but I have
a problem that's really annoying me.  I just installed MySQL on
a virtual server account that I have, and for some reason, mysql refuses
to list my databases or tables, although they seem to be there.  I've
included a log below, which may be somewhat lengthy, but hopefully
should explain what I'm seeing.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be happening here?

$ mysql -u root '-pMyPassword'
