MySQL Driver Config

I realize this isn't quite a Seaside question, but does anyone know offhand if the mysql driver encrypts the config info differently than mysql 5.x requires? I'm gonna look into the code and maybe try and tell mysql to act like version 4.x and see if that helps. I'm just having some problems connecting from Seaside (Waiting for data error).

In case anyone was wondering, the encryption changed in 4.1 and remains the same since (which the driver handles correctly). The issue had to do with the server allowing a connection with the mysql daemon.
