SSH tunnels and non root accounts get "the server service or the configuration file could not be found"

[Miguel González]

Dear all,

  Not sure if this the right mailing list address for asking this.
  Server running Centos and MySQL.

   Client is a windows xp machine.

   I have setup a SSH tunnel with putty and run mysql administrator. It 
works fine with the root account.

   With a non-root account I get

   the server service or the configuration file could not be found. I 
can log on but I can't see the databases that I should be allowed to see.

   Running a mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u myuser -p mypassword from linux 
works fine

    I have created a .my.cnf file in the home folder with 600 
permissions in the linux box and filled it with:

    [client]

    pass='mypass'
    user=myuser

    Server configuration file is under /etc/my.cnf.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Regards,

    Miguel
