ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
any ideas why this is or what i can do to make it work?
Do your NIS users mount only their HOME directories from the NIS/MySQL server?
If so, obviously the /var partition on the MySQL server wouldn't be
available to them, right?
To confirm:
1. Log in as a NIS user
2. su to root
3. Check out ls -l /var/lib/mysql/
