Yes, if I remember correctly, mysql 3.23 no longer supports negative
numbers in an autoincrement field, which means the anonymous coward uid of
-1 in slash 1.0.x breaks things.  That could be why everything is messed
up for you.

You can either downgrade to mysql 3.22, tell it to use the old style data
files (search this list for information about that--something about ISM
files), or upgrade to slash 2.0.  Stuff like this was discussed a lot in
the slashcode lists a few months ago.

Good luck,
