    When trying to create a MySQL backup using Webmin using "Download in the browser", I get file with the following contents (I also get displayed the same error if I attempt to a file):

    <tt>mysqldump</tt> failed : <pre>mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user &#39;root&#39;@&#39;localhost&#39; (using password: YES) when trying to connect
    </pre><p>
    

    I have never been able to successfully do this on any of these RedHat machines.

    I resolved this by clicking the gear icon to go to MySQL Module Configuration and setting "Use MYSQL_PWD variable to pass password?" to No.
