Client does not support authentication protocol requested

If the web browser reports the following,

Client does not support authentication protocol requested
by server; consider upgrading MySQL client


It means the server is using a newer authentication method than the client. To resolve you need to tell the server to use old passwords.

See the following for chapter & verse,
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html

Eh...

Is MySQL 5.0 out for VMS already? Or doews the same apply for 4.1 and pre-4.1?

Applies for pre-5.0 versions also, Willem.
