[vchkpw] MySQL has gone away error ..

[Steve Fulton]

Hi all,

To those that remember me, long time no see.  Nice to be back.  Or more 
accurately, nice to be paid what I enjoy doing, again.

I've installed vchkpw on a fresh RH 7.3 box and I've run into the error in 
the subject line.  I'm using an RPM install of MySQL 4 (server, 
development, client etc etc).  Here's an example of the error:

vmysql: sql error[9]: MySQL server has gone away

I've reviewed the list and Google'd to no avail.  A vpopmail DB and 
user/pass has been created.  The info was manually inputted into the 
vmysql.h file.  It compiled fine, yet I still get this error.  I tried 
changing the MySQL socket from /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock 
to no avail.  Any other suggestions?
