MySQL slave replication permission error I am having a rather frustrating issue. I have granted replication client to a user on the slave instance of MySQL. I can login using the username and password. I can exectute "SHOW SLAVE STATUS;" but I cannot start or stop the slave thread. I get the error below when i issue "STOP SLAVE" or "START SLAVE".

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks.
you may need to grant super privileges to the user. Replication client is responsible only to replicate binary logs to slave
