MySQL 4.x uses a new hashing length for passwords. You can keep the old 
shorter hash until NessusWX is updated. Simply use
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR
    -> 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
to reset the password to the shorter hash.

Greetings,
	after trying to export some reports into my database, I ask

myself if the provided libmySQL.dll is capable of connecting to a

4.1.7 MySQL? 


According to Ethereal, it get's back the following:
``Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server;
consider upgrading MySQL client''
Two things in my eyes:
	1) NessusWX should report the error-message, at least in the
debug-logfile
	2) What version is supported? Does any mysql-guru know what
changed and is now incompatible?
