After upgrade mysql to 5.1.44 anyone can login into root account without password from console.

I can't reproduce here. speedracer ~ # mysql -uroot ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Are you sure your configuration was secure before the upgrade? The instructions at the end of the package note to run "emerge --config dev-db/mysql", and explicitly require that you set a password.
I have done: 1. emerge =dev-db/mysql-5.1.44 2. emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-5.1.44 3.

Just to add my 2 pence, this error is in the mysqlerr log file after running emerge --config dev-db/mysql: [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-ndbcluster' [ERROR] Aborting If I forcefully remove this option (line 1096 in mysql.eclass), it stops again with yet another error: [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-bdb' [ERROR] Aborting Once I have removed this option too (line 1116 in mysql.eclass), the process appears to complete correctly. I have these USE flags set on my build: community perl ssl -big-tables -cluster -debug -embedded -extraengine -latin1 -max-idx-128 -minimal -pbxt -profiling (-selinux) -static -test
I can confirm Russel Knighton's observation: with mysql-5.1, "emerge --config dev-db/mysql" does not work because mysqld dies with --skip-ndbcluster and --skip-bdb options; as a result, you have to set the root password, timezones and help tables by hand.
eclass fixed in CVS now.
