[sisyphus] mysql 5.0.34 charsets

[Serge <serg-e@ukr.net>]

Доброго дня.

Обнаружил интересную ситуацию:
есть 2 машинки с сизифом.
на обоих стоит mysql 5.0.34 "из коробки", тоесть apt-get install ...
m1
# mysql mysql
mysql> status
...
Server characterset:    utf8
Db     characterset:    utf8
Client characterset:    latin1
Conn.  characterset:    latin1
=========================

m2
# mysql mysql
mysql> status

Server characterset:    koi8r
Db     characterset:    koi8r
Client characterset:    latin1
Conn.  characterset:    latin1
=========================

ручками нигде конфиги не трогал.
m1
$ rpm -qa|grep MySQL
