mySQL: Slave not able to connect to Master for replication

Question

On my master, I did:

GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO 'repluser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';

On my slave, I see:

mysql> show slave status \G;
*************************** 1. row ***************************
               Slave_IO_State: Connecting to master
                  Master_Host: 12.34.56.78

               Last_SQL_Errno: 0
               Last_SQL_Error:
  Replicate_Ignore_Server_Ids:
             Master_Server_Id: 0

And it just hangs. But if I try to connect via mysql -u repluser -h 12.23.45.67 -P 6666 p, I can connect to the master just fine.

My port, 6666 is open and allowable.

Not sure what else to do.

I found the answer on http://nerdherd.com/archives/524

Note the error code 1045, which indicates a credentials problem. Double-check the length of your password; MySQL has a MASTER_PASSWORD maximum length limit of 32 characters. Shorten that puppy up and have another try.

I needed a name for my slave in SERVER, so i called it as servidor, just as the next:

GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO 'servidor'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'servidor';

The next line on server was:

MASTER STATUS

And I got the next:

+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+ 
| File             | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| mysql-bin.000005 |     1232 | pizzeria     |                  |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+

So I need to call in the client as the next:

CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='172.25.3.44', MASTER_USER='servidor'  
MASTER_PASSWORD='servidor', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000005', 
MASTER_LOG_POS=1232;
