Reproducible: Always mrness@gentoo.org 2007-03-22 13:11:42 0000 The root account is required only for dspam database setup (database creation, dspam user creation, rights setup), it isn't used anywhere else by dspam. Are you telling me your administrative MySQL account name is not root? mrness@gentoo.org 2007-03-22 14:49:42 0000 fixed in dspam-3.6.8-r3. thanks! gbugzilla@voltar-confed.org 2007-03-22 16:05:29 0000 (In reply to comment #1) > Are you telling me your administrative MySQL account name is not root? That is correct. I never use the root user account and it does not have a password set. I believe that is uncommon, but most definitely isn't unique. In order to use the root account I have to take mysql offline and bring the daemon back up without password authentication. mrness@gentoo.org 2007-03-22 16:08:53 0000 Have no idea why you reopened the bug. I told you I've fix it (see comment 2). gbugzilla@voltar-confed.org 2007-03-22 16:50:52 0000 (In reply to comment #4) > Have no idea why you reopened the bug. I told you I've fix it (see comment 2). I re-opened it because I'm functionally illiterate from time to time. Sorry about that.
