[Dovecot] Dovecot 30.10.2005 CVS Snapshot: cannot connect to MySQL

[Alexander Shikoff]

Hello,

I've compiled nightly CVS snapshot and set it up to work with MySQL database:
[...]
auth default {
        mechanisms = plain
        user = root

        passdb sql {
                args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql.conf
        }

        userdb sql {
                args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql.conf
        }

}

sql.conf contains next line:
	connect = host=localhost dbname=exim user=exim password=xxx

After the start dovecot cannot connect to MySQL database:
Oct 30 15:44:15 crow dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.alpha4 starting up
Oct 30 15:44:17 crow dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connect failed to localhost (exim): Access denied for user 'exim'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - waiting for 1 seconds before retry
Oct 30 15:44:17 crow dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connect failed to localhost (exim): Access denied for user 'exim'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - waiting for 5 seconds before retry

But I can connect with the same password:
# mysql -u exim -p exim
Enter password:
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2227 to server version: 4.1.15

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> show tables;
+----------------+
| Tables_in_exim |
+----------------+
| aliases        |
| domains        |
| users          |
+----------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Any ideas?
	Thanks in advance, Alexander.
