[GRASSLIST:5016] latest 5.7-cvs can't connect to MySQL

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi everyone,

I just noticed that I can no longer connect to my MySQL tables from within 
GRASS 5.7-cvs..

before I could execute:
db.connect driver=mysql 
database="host=localhost,dbname=test,user=xxxx,password=xxxx"

and i could then work with tables in MySQL...

now, even after setting the connection parameters with db.connect, i get the 
following errors when executing `db.tables -p`:

-------------error messages-------------
db.tables -p
WARNING: 'user' in database definition is not supported, use db.connect
WARNING: 'password' in database definition is not supported, use db.connect
DBMI-MYSQL driver error: mysql_real_connect() error (1045): Access denied for 
user: 'dylan at localhost' (Using password: NO)
------------------------------------------------

and the following shows up in mysql.log
----------mysql.log------------
Access denied for user: 'dylan at localhost' (Using password: NO)
----------------------------------

...somehow GRASS 5.7-cvs from last month was able to connect to mysql, but the 
latest one is having problems passing some parameters (username and password) 
to mysql

any ideas?

thanks in advance
