localhost means socket.
Hmm, I don't believe it does. localhost is a DNS shortcut to the IP
address of the local machine.
If that is how mysql wants to treat things, then it should issue an
error message on connect because --host=localhost and --port=anything
would then be mutually exclusive.
Thanks.

Wasn't it something like on local machines MySQL doesn't open a socket
port because it works directly in program and not going the loop out of
mysql and back in through the socket?
