All,

I did not find in the manual if following is possible:

Grant usage on *.* to 'userX'@'hostY' identified by old_password("some_pass")

I know that I can update the mysql.user table to use the old_password syntax update mysql.user set password = old_password("some_pass") where user = "useX"
and host = "HostY"

Is my guess correct that the first syntax is incorrect (or not usable)

thx

Kris
