I had Omeka working fine on Mac OS 10.5.
I upgraded to a new laptop with 10.6 and now I get:
Omeka Has Encountered an Error
mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure authentication.
Please use an administration tool to reset your password with the command
SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password').
This will store a new, and more secure, hash value in mysql.user.
If this user is used in other scripts executed by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might
need to remove the old-passwords flag from your my.cnf file
I've googled this error, but I don't understand where to apply the suggested fixes. ( mysql server or client )

Since this seems to be connected to new mysql access methods in php 5.3, I may try and see if I can downgrade to php 5.2
and see if that will fix the problem.
Any better suggestions ?
