I just posted this to the JReceiver Yahoo group, but for the archives, I figure I should post this here:

This is both an FYI and a request for a workaround - I'd like to upgrade to MySQL 4.1.8 (and beyond), but can't because of JReceiver.

It looks like the JDBC driver that it uses can't cope with the new password mechanism that MySQL 4.1.x uses. There's an --old-passwords flag that you can use, so I read, but I can't figure out how to implement it.

As soon as you start using MySQL 4.1.x (4.1.8 in my case) JReceiver no longer works. Took me about 3 hours to figure out that was the problem... bummer! :-(.

I'm back to using MySQL 4.0.23-standard for the moment.

If anyone has a workaround, please send or better yet - post it here!
