Installing MySQL server (user-pwd)

Rails
1

Hi you all,
I am reading the Rolling with Rails article, by Curt H… In the
beginning, when he is explaining how to install the MySQL Server, he
comments we mustn’t set up any account cause MySQL uses an
authentication algorithm that is not compatible with the current version
of Rails. Is there any way to avoid this and establish an account with
its password? (I am using MySQL 5.0 and Rails 1.1.4.)
thanks.

Well, me myself found the answer to my question in the second part of
the article. The thing is that version 0.9 of Rails (and latest) has
managed this issue and you can set a password.
