Warning should be given out if using a MySQL Client older than 4.1.1
0%
Description
"Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in"
This is a common problem in case the database is old. Its easy to solve with the function OLD_PASSWORD in mysql.
A warning or hint should be included into the install tool to inform a guy who is installing typo3 of this possibility
sql>UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd')
-> WHERE Host = 'some_host' AND User = 'some_user';
sql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
is easy done... But a poor devil who is under pressure installing typo3 might forget or does not know about this possibility
Lots of frustration could be avoided.
Some people are not using Typo3 for fun... Their bosses asked them to handle and learn typo3....

It's more a problem to the server admin than a TYPO3 bug. TYPO3 could show a warning if the MySQL client API is below 4.1.1 - but it still depends on the server admin to fix it in MySQL...
Believe, there are many companies and people out there that use TYPO3 in a professional environment and not just for fun. If your boss told you to work with TYPO3 it's up to your willingness - and hey: You get paid for it!
Just my to cents...

According to INSTALL.txt newer versions need at least MySQL 4.1; older clients are no longer supported.
So time has fixed this issue.
