When I am logged in to my Linux system as root mysqladmin works correctly. i.e. finds mysql.sock in the correct location.
When I am logged in as a normal user I get this error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. blah blah... (This is *not* the correct mysql.sock) The issue is that my.cnf indicates /var/tmp/mysql.sock for both client and mysqld. And... it works fine when I am logged in as root. As a user it's trying to use the wrong mysql.sock file. Any idea how to fix this? How I achieved the screwed up state? BTW, if I use --socket=/var/tmp/mysql.sock it works. I hesitate to consider it a longtem solution.
