Hi. Please, please always cite error message if you get any. Most time they will be instant clue to some list members and without them it is almost always the start of "guessing time".
That said, it sounds as if the "another user" does not have the file privilege to access the UNIX socket (that .sock file), which is needed to make the connection to the MySQL server. For more info, read http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/a/Can_not_connect_to_server.html As intermediate solution you can try to connect via TCP sockets by giving an hostname/IP. Something like mysql -h 127.0.0.1 Bye, Benjamin.
