Client does not support authentication protocol requested

[John D]

Hey,
Getting a problem doing an install on a new site:

An error occured while connecting to the database. Please check your database username and password.

If you require help with your database server settings, please consult your hosting company.

The database server returned the following message:

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

Anyone know whats up?
