Sami, thanks

I'm running in circles here.. I thought it worked once, but, couldn't
repeat it after

OK, I've made user 'test' with pw 'test1234'

using keyborad to enter test1234 I get:

# mysql  -u test -p
Enter password:

copied '*3D3B92F242033365AE5BC6A8E6FC3E1679F4140A' to buffer

paste from buffer below, fail

Enter password:

HMMM, maybe Putty copy/paste is screwed up...? ...?
tried shift/insert, still fails ?

the other one gives syntax error:
