The default MySQL configuration files shipped with almost every Linux
distribution's MySQL packages, *even for MySQL 5.5*, still enable the
old_passwords setting by default "for backward compatibility".  It makes
me want to kick people.  The old style MySQL 3 password hashes were
deprecated over ten years ago, because they were insecure THEN, and the
attacks haven't gotten any weaker in the intervening ten years.

There is really no excuse for it on the part of the packagers.  I
suspect they will continue to enable old_passwords by default until
Oracle completely removes old-style password hash support.
