Good deal.

Interesting!  Did you look for any .rpmorig files left behind after you
upgraded (I assume by that you mean "rpm -U") -- it's possible that
horde/phplib/local.inc with your password was shoved aside in favor of the
default one.  (We don't do the ".dist" thing with that one as we do with
the others.)

Can you be more specific about "would not come up" -- what symptom did you
see?  I'm curious which of the three places (MySQL itself, local.inc, or
defaults.php3) had the wrong password.
