Hi All, The subject line does not refer to a graphics card. It refers to the fact that I think Fedora Core was stricken with some sort of voodoo because I can't do anything in FC4 that was easy as pie in FC3. This probably isn't the right place to post this, but I've discovered that Fedora, as much as I love it, is "quirky", so I'm going to ask for help. If it is not a Fedora issue, then kindly directy me to the place where I can get help. My problem has to do with mysql. I've been using this since FC2 and have always added users using the "GRANT" command. For instance, I used to be able to type (as root) GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'colleen@localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; (Of course, I'm not going to put a "real" password in there!) Now, I get a message saying that the syntax is wrong. I would wonder except that I got this from the MySQL website where the user manual is posted. I also have an O'Reilly Book that I use. What is going on here? Can anyone help? Regards, Colleen
