I just installed apache 4.x on Kubuntu 5.10 via apt-get. I want to
securethe account as per the instructions found at:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/default-privileges.html

I apparantly have these users:
mysql> select Host, User FROM mysql.user;
+-----------+------------------+
| Host      | User             |
+-----------+------------------+
| ety       | root             |
| localhost | debian-sys-maint |
| localhost | root             |
+-----------+------------------+
3 rows in set (0.11 sec)

So I proceed tto the first step in the guide, but I get this error:
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'localhost' = PASSWORD('my_password_here');
ERROR 1133: Can't find any matching row in the user table

What is the proper way to continue? Should I use these three commands?:
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'ety' = PASSWORD('my_password_here');
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' =
PASSWORD('my_password_here');
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('my_password_here');

Thank you in advance.
