For many releases of Freebsd going back to 4.3 I have all ways used the default mysql user root localhost with no password which has been the default. With 8.0/mysql-server-5.0.86 I am denied access now. The mysql manual still says the normal install defaults to allowing access to user root with no password are in effect. After a fresh clean install of mysql Tried mysqladmin -u root drop test to delete the test db. Received this msg connect to srver at localhost failed access denied for user 'root@localost (using password: no) This in not suppose to happen. Is anyone else having this problem? Has the package for mysql50-server been changed to force securing user root with a password?
